The task must include at least 4 ingredients with at least 1 ingredient requiring 2 operations (wash and slice, for example). The task must include use of at least 1 hand tool. Both machines must be busy simultaneously at some point in the task. If you have questions regarding whether the chosen task meets requirements, ask the instructor.

The status of the operator and of each machine should be documented in separate columns. The status of the hand tool does not need to be documented. Show calculation of the utilization of the operator and each machine at the bottom of the chart.
