(Enter your response rounded to one decimal place.) The theoretical minimum number of workstations is nothing. (Enter your response rounded up to the next whole number.) b. Suppose the longest individual task takes 1313 minutes. Will Burns be able to accomplish its goal? A. YesYes because the longest task time is largerlarger than the takt time. The takt time is equal to the lowest allowable cycle time in order to meet the required output rate. B. YesYes because the longest task time is lessless than the takt time. The takt time is equal to the highest allowable cycle time in order to meet the required output rate. C. Yes because the longest task time is less than the total task time for each boat. D. NoNo because the longest task time is largerlarger than the takt time. The takt time is equal to the highest allowable cycle time in order to meet the required output rate.
