You've just been assigned the job of setting up a product assembly line with the following tasks. Task A B C D E F G Time (Minutes) 0.1 0.6 0.8 0.4 1.0 0.3 0.8 Predecessors None A B B, E A D C, F Suppose management wants to assemble 450 units of the product per day. (a) What would our cycle time have to be? (Assume 1 day = 9 hours) (b) What is the theoretical minimum number of workstations for this problem? (c) Construct an AON network for this project. (d) Assign tasks to workstations in order of the largest positional weight (PW), and when there is a tie (two or more candidate tasks have the same PW), break the tie by assigning tasks to workstations in order of the shortest operating time.
