Assignment:
As part of a major plant renovation project, the industrial engineering department has been asked to balance a revised assembly operation to achieve an output of 300 units per eight-hour day. Task times and precedence relationships are as follows:
a. Determine the minimum cycle time
b. Determine the maximum cycle time
c. Determine the calculated cycle time (based on the target output rate)
d. Determine the theoretical minimum number of stations needed.
e. Compute the efficiency (Based on the actual number of stations)
f. Draw the precedence diagram (no need to submit the answer)
g. Come up with a possible result of grouping (no need to submit the answer).
