Problem $2.$

Consider the following tasks for an assembly line operation to be used to produce $144000$ units of a product per year.

a$)$ Draw the precedence diagram

b$)$ Suppose, the assembly line will be operated $8$ hours per day and $300$ days per year $($excluding holidays$).$ Determ ine the theoretical number of stations to minimize the balance delay with the ideal cycle time that meets the demand.

c$)$ Determine the balanee delay for part $($b$)$

d$)$ Balance the line with Largest Candidate Rule.

e$)$ Balance the line with Ranked Positional Weighted Method.

f$)$ Balance the line with Kilbridge and Wester Method

g$)$ Determine the number of stations and the balance delay for each solution above.
