The precedence diagram and task times (in minutes) for assembling McCauley's Mystifier are shown here. Set up an assembly line to produce 125 mystifiers in a 40-hour week. 8 5 4 10 0

Explanation / Answer

2 ans) a) ABF, CD, GEHI, JK

3 ans) b) ABE, CD, FGH, IJK

4 ans) desired cycle time = (40*60)/125 =19.2 min

so actual cycle time = 19

6 ana) efficency = 61/4*19 =0.8026 =80%
