Consider the aggregate plan, master schedule and the total tasks (time) required to assemble one of the finished goods parts. Finish calculating weeks 5 to 12 of the rolling 12-week master production schedule (MPS) based on the aggregate plan and then determine the worst case Takt time (cycle time) required (min/part) to produce the demands.

What is the theoretical minimum number of workstations required to produce to demand if 7,869 minutes of production are available per week?
