c$)(15$ points$)$ We want to minimize the number of stations in an assembly line

balancing integer program. What would you be the objective function? Explain the

reason. You may assume that no more than $5$ stations are needed for c$)-$f$).$

$($There is no single right answer to this question.$)$

d$)(20$ points$)$ Using the cycle time calculated from b$)$ and the objective function

defined in c$),$ write down the full algebraic formulation of the assembly line

balancing integer program.
