Suppose you are responsible for designing a new product layout that will be used eight hours per day to meet demand of X units per day (X= 400 + Last two digits of your registration number, e.g., if your registration number is XXXX72, then X = 400 + 72). Following table list down the necessary task as well as predecessor relationship and task times. Predecessor Task A BUDEF C A B, D C, E Time (Seconds) Y = 40 + Last digit of your registration number e.g., if your registration number is XXXX72, then Y = 40 + 2 36 26 22 55 30 a) (5 Points) If you disregard the given schedule of production, what will be the minimum and maximum possible cycle time (in seconds)? b) (5 Points) Now consider the production schedule. What will be the required cycle time (in seconds) to meet the schedule? c) (5 Points) To meet this demand, how many workstations (minimum) will be needed? d) (5 Points) Balance this line using any of the heuristics discussed in the book by assigning task to individual workstations. e) (5 Points) What is the efficiency of the balance assembly line obtained in part d?
