Problem $6-17($Algo$)$

Some tasks and the order in which they must be performed according to their assembly requirements are shown in the following table. These are to be combined into workstations to create an assembly line. The assembly line operates $9\mathrm{.}25$ hours per day. The outpuf requirement is $900$ units per day.

$\backslash$table$[[$TASK$,\backslash$table$[[$PRECEDING$],[$TASKS$]],\backslash$table$[[$TIME$],[($SECONDS$]]],[$A$,-,25],[$B$,$A$,10],[$C$,$A$,20],[$D$,$B$,16],[$E$,$B$,18],[F,$C$,20],[$G$,$C$,15],[$H$,$D$,12],[$I$,$E$,14],[$J$,F,G,10],[$K$,H,$I,$9],[L,$J$,$ K$,8]]$

a$.$ What is the required workstation cycle time to meet the desired output rate?

Answer is complete and correct.

$\backslash$table$[[\backslash$table$[[$Workstation cycle$],[$time$]],37,\backslash$table$[[$seconds per$],[$unit$]]]]$

b$.$ Balance the line using the longest task time based on the $900-$unit forecast, stating which tasks would be done in each workstation.

Note: Leave no cells blank $-$ be certain to enter $"$O$"$ wherever required.

Answer is complete but not

$\backslash$table$[[\backslash$table$[[$Work$],[$Station$]],$Task,$\backslash$table$[[$Idle$],[$Time$]]],[1,$A $(x),12x$
