Gregory is designing a layout for a new product. It plans to use this production line eight hours a day in order to meet a schedule of 300 units per day. The tasks necessary to produce this product are detailed in the table below. Task Predecessor Time (seconds) A -- 55 B A 46 C -- 21 D -- 22 E B, D 70 F C, E 20 (a) Draw the network described in the table. (b) Without regard to a production schedule, what is the minimum possible cycle time (in seconds) for this situation; what is the maximum? Minimum is 70 maximum is 234 (c) What is the required cycle time (in seconds) to meet the schedule? 96 (d) What is the theoretical minimum number of workstations needed to meet the schedule? 2.4375 (e) Balance this line using the longest processing time. (f) What is the efficiency of the balance obtained in part e? 84.375% (3 points).
