Complete the String Diagram Analysis process for the routing data provided below.

Step #1: Create an INITIAL STRING DIAGRAM with the processes in numerical order (1 2 3 4 5 6 7). Determine how to segregate the lines (different color or other way to tell them apart) for each part number from the table below (Part A, Part B, etc), add the strings to the layout, and calculate the results. - Example - Use RED line to create process string for Part A, BLUE for Part B...)

Step #2: Analyze the process (total moves, etc) and look for relationships. Would it make sense to shift the process numbers around in the order? Consider the required changes and create another string diagram, this one for your IMPROVED process. Recalculate and provide the results. - Perhaps there will not be any major improvements in the NUMERIC value of the layout If not, there may be a change that you could make to improve flow in another way. If that is the case, describe the proposed change and what it would improve. Deliverable items - 10 points possible on each:

1. Initial string diagram with varying line types for each part number, labeled properly.

2. Table containing number of steps and total for initial layout

3. Efficiency calculation for initial layout

4. Improved string diagram with varying line types for each part number, labeled properly.

5. Table containing number of steps and total

6. Efficiency calculation for improved layout Part No. Sequence of Operations
