b) Given the demand, the cycle time for the production of the new train set = ___ seconds (round your response to one decimal place)

c) The theoretical minimum number of workstations = ___ (round your response up to the next whole number)

d) Using the longest operation rule, the assignment of tasks to workstations should be: (Hint: Number of workstations in terms of precedence relationships and combine any applicable tasks.)

Were you able to assign all the tasks to the theoretical minimum number of workstations?

e) The total idle time per cycle for the process = ___ seconds (enter your response as a whole number).

f) The efficiency of the assembly line with 5 workstations = ___% (enter your response as percentage rounded to one decimal place).

If one used 6 workstations instead of 5, the efficiency of the assembly line would be = ____% (enter your response as a percentage rounded to one decimal place).

The Action Toy Company has decided to manufacture a new train set, the production of which is broken into six steps. The demand for the train is 4,800 units per 40-hour workweek: Task Predecessors A Performance Time (seconds) 24 28 15 A B D A 14 E 10 A B, C D, E F 28 This exercise only contains parts b, c, d, e, and f. b) Given the demand, the cycle time for the production of the new train set = seconds (round your response to one decimal place)
