Turner's Furniture has developed a new style of chairs that will be made on an assembly line. The schedule requires 75 chairs in an 8-hour day. The assembly includes seven tasks. The table below indicates the performance time and the sequence requirements for each task. Task Performance Time (minutes) Predecessor A 1 B 2 C 3 D 2 E 4 F 1 G 2 A B B C, D E F Based on utilizing the Longest Operating Time heuristic: a. What is the cycle time for this assembly operation? b. What is the theoretical minimum number of workstations?
