Determine the optimal way of machine coupling


Solve the below problem:

Q: In a machine cell, there are five machines (A, B, C, D and E). The accompanying table gives the machine loading times, automatic processing times, and machine cost per hour. It takes a machine operator 0.5 minutes to move between two machines. A machine operator cost $10 per hour. Determine the optimal way of machine coupling.

Time and cost                      Machine
                                      A   B   C  D   E
Load and unload(min/unit)    3   6   2  5   4
Auto Process(min/unit)        8   11  8  14  8
Machine Cost(min/unit)       11  12  13 14 15
