The XYZ Company is planning to introduce a new product line and will build a new factory to produce the parts and assembly the final products for the product line. The new product line will include $100$ different models. Annual production of each model is expected to be $1000$ units. Each product will be assembled of $600$ components. All processing of parts and assembly of products will be accomplished in one factory. There is an average of $10$ processing steps required to produce each component, and each processing step takes $30sec.($includes an allowance for setup time and part handling$).$ Each final unit of product takes $3\mathrm{.}0$ hours to assemble. All processing operations are performed at work cells that each includes a production machine and a human worker. Products are assembled on single workstations consisting of two workers each. If each work cell and each workstation require $200f{t}^2,$ and the factory operates one shift $(2000h\frac{r}{y}r,$ determine:

$($a$)$ how many production operations, $(2$ points$)$

$($b$)$ how many workers will be required in the plant. $(2$ points$)$ and

$($c$)$ how much floor space, $(2$ points$)$
