ONLY NEED HELP WITH E & F.

The Action Toy Company has decided to manufacture a new train set, the production of which is broken into six steps. The demand for the train is

4,500

units per 40-hour workweek:

Task

Performance Time

(seconds)

Predecessors

A

B, C

F

27

D, E

This exercise only contains parts b, c, d, e, and f.

b) Given the demand, the cycle time for the production of the new train set =

3232

seconds (round your response to one decimal place).

c) The theoretical minimum number of

workstations=44

(round your response up to the next whole number).

d) Using the longest operation time rule, the assignment of tasks to workstations should be: (Hint: Number workstations sequentially in terms of precedence relationships and combine any applicable tasks.)

A

Station 1

B

Station 2

C

Station 3

D

Station 3

E

Station 4

F

Station 5

Were you able to assign all the tasks to the theoretical minimum number of workstations?

No

Total Idle Time per Cycle = i=15(Largest Assigned Task TimeTask Time for Station i)

E. The total idle time per cycle for the process = ______seconds (enter your response as a whole number).

Efficiency = Task times(Actual number of workstations)(Largest assigned task time)

F. The efficiency of the assembly line with 5 workstations = ___________(enter your response as a percentage rounded to two decimal places).

If one used 5 workstations instead of 4, the efficiency of the assembly line would be = _______(enter your response as a percentage rounded to two decimal places).
