The Mini-Mobile produces a scanning processor for a scanning device that captures "Big-Data" in a text, voice or video format. To manufacture this processor efficiently, they have divided the manufacturing process into six different tasks (see the table below). Demand for this processor is estimated to be 4,800 units per week (40-hours a week). List of tasks, task time, and their sequences are shown below: a) Given the demand, the cycle time for the production of the new processor = seconds (round your response to one decimal place). b) The theoretical minimum number of workstations = (round your response up to the next whole number). c) Using the longest operation time rule, the assignment of tasks to workstations should be: (Hint: Number workstations sequentially in terms of precedence relationships and combine any applicable tasks.) Were you able to assign all the tasks to the theoretical minimum number of workstations? d) Total idle time per cycle for the process = seconds (enter your response as a whole number). e) Efficiency of the assembly line with 5 workstations = % (enter your response as a percentage rounded to one decimal place)
