***DON'T NEED HELP WITH A & B... ONLY D-G*****

The following tasks are to be performed on an assembly line: TASKS THAT MUST PRECEDE TASK A B C D E F G H SECONDS 25 15 20 29 16 8 35 32 A B B D E, F G The workday is 10.5 hours long. Demand for completed product is 900 per day. a. Find the cycle time required to meet the desired output rate. (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.) Cycle time seconds per unit b. What is the theoretical number of workstations required to meet the desired output rate? (Round up your answer to the next whole number.) Number of workstations d. Balance the line using sequential restrictions and the longest-operating-time rule. (Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "O" wherever required. Round your answers to 1 decimal place.) Work Station 1 11 III Task A-B D-F Idle Time 40.00 29.0 36.0 43.0 C-E IV F-G V H 32.0 e. What is the efficiency of the line balanced as in part (d) assuming it is running at the cycle time determined in part (a)? (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.) Efficiency 90.0 % f. Suppose that demand rose from 900 to 950 units per day. What would you do? (Round your answer for cycle time down to the nearest whole number.) Increase cycle time to 950 seconds, which may require rebalancing the line. g. Suppose that demand rose from 900 to 1,150 units per day. What would you do? (Round your answer for cycle time down to the nearest whole number.) Reduce cycle time to 1,150 seconds, which may require rebalancing the line
