Assembly Line Balancing

$4\mathrm{.}16$ The letters in the table below represent work elements in an assembly precedence diagram. $($a$)$ Construct the precedence diagram and $($b$)$ determine the total work content time. $($c$)$ Use the largest candidate rule to assign work elements to stations using a service time $(T_s)$ of $1\mathrm{.}5$min, and $($d$)$ compute the balance delay for your solution.
