The daily demand is 100 toys. Times of the tasks are 2.73, 2.01, 2.13, 2.0, 2.61, 2.71, and 2.95 minutes for A, B, C, D, E, F, and G, respectively. However, due to the nature of the product there are precedence rules that must be observed. Such that Task A does not need any predecessors; task B requires task A to be completed. To start task C and task D, each require task B to be completed. Task C must be completed prior to stating task E. Task F needs both task D and task E to be completed. Finally, task G can start only once task F is completed. Given we apply the most remaining tasks rule for balancing the assembly line, with ties broken according to longest task time first, the tasks that will be assigned to the THIRD workstation are O a.
