3. A product whose total work content time = 50 minutes is to be assembled on a manual production line. The required production rate is 30 units per hour. From previous experience with similar products, it is estimated that the manning level will be close to 1.5. Assume E = Es = 1.0. If 9 seconds will be lost from the cycle time for repositioning, determine: a) The cycle time, and b) How many workers and c) Stations will be needed on the line.
