Step $1(25$ sec$.)$: The plastic tube for the frame is cut to size.

Step $2(15$ sec$.)$: The tube is put together.

Step $3(30$ sec$.)$: The frame is glued together

Step $4(25$ sec$.)$: The frame is cleaned.

Step $5(30$ sec$.)$: Paint is sprayed onto the frame.

Step $6(50$ sec$.)$: Wheels are assembled.

Step $7(35$ sec$.)$: All other parts are assembled to the frame.

Under the current process layout, workers are allocated to the stations as shown here:

Worker $1$: Steps $1$ and $2$

Worker $2$: Steps $3$ and $4$

Worker $3$: Step $5$

Worker $4$: Step $6$

Worker $5$: Step $7$

Assume the workers are paid $$10$ per hour. Each bicycle is sold for $$5$ and includes parts that are sourced for $$1.$ The company has fixed costs of $$200$ per hour. Despite Lance Armstrong$$s doping confession, there exists substantially more demand for the bicycle than Atlas can supply.
