1. Suppose that each activity (1,2,3,4,5) must be performed by at least one resource, and that each resource (A,B,C,D,E,F,G) can perform any activity (with the activity times staying the same regardless of which resource performs them). How should the resources be re-organized to improve the capacity of the entire process? What is the maximum capacity that could be achieved?

Activity 1 Activity 2 Activity 3 A C D Activity 5 E G B F Activity 4 There are five activities (1,2,3,4,5) and seven resources (A,B,C,D,E,F,G). Activity 1 is performed by resources A and B in parallel; activities 2 and 3 are performed by resources C and D, respectively; activity 4 is performed by resources E and F in parallel, and activity 5 is performed by resource G. We know that each resource takes 12 seconds to complete Activity 1, 5 seconds to complete activity 2, 20 seconds to complete activity 3, 30 seconds to complete activity 4, and 5 seconds to complete activity 5
