1. Show all your work including formulas. Use the examples in the Panopto presentation and Moodle to guide you through the questions

2. Because you are drawing a precedence diagram and stating formulas, it would be best if you use pen/pencil and paper. Take a photo and print to PDF or cut and paste into a Word doc. Be sure to take the photo from over top of the graph and not at an angle, which may be difficult to read.

Note: One thing the question does not ask you to solve is the theoretical number of workstations. Please do this before you start assigning tasks to workstations. 4. A large manufacturer of pencil sharpeners is planning to add a new sharpener, and you have been asked to balance the assembly line, given the following task times and precedence relationships. Assume that cycle time is 1.3 minutes per unit. L05 Task Duration (minutes) Immediate Follower a 0.2 b b 0.4 d C 0.3 d d 1.3 0.1 0.8 9 0.3 h h 1.2 a. Do each of the following: i. Draw the precedence network. ii. Assign the tasks to workstations using the heuristic rule "Assign the task with the most followers." Break ties using the heuristic rule "Assign the task with the longest time." III. Determine the percentage idle time. iv. Calculate the rate of output that could be expected for this line assuming a 420-minute working day
