Dr. Lori Baker, operations manager at Nesa Electronics, prides herself on excellent assembly-line balancing. She has been told that the firm needs to complete 90instruments per24-hour day. The assembly-line activities are:

Task	Performance Time (mins)	Predecessors	Task	Performance Time (mins)	Predecessors
A	4			G	5		F
B	6			H	7		D, E
C	8		A	I	1		H
D	7		A, B	J	9		E
E	3		B	K	1		G, I, J
F	4		C

c) If the cycle time after allowances is given as 10 minutes, then the effective daily(24-hour) production rate =

d) with a 10 min cycle time, what is the theoretical min number of stations with which the line can be balanced?

e) with a 10 min cycle time and six workstations what is the efficiency?

f) what is the total idle time per cycle with a 10 min cycle time and 6 workstations?

g) what is the best workstation assignment you can make without exceeding a 10 min cycle time and what is its efficiency?
