- Please walk me through each step and the reasoning behind the step I don't understandarrow_forwardTwelve tasks, with times and precedence requirements as shown in the following table, are tobe assigned to workstations using a cycle time of 1.5 minutes. Two heuristic rules will be tried:(1) greatest positional weight, and (2) most following tasks.In each case, the tiebreaker will be shortest processing time.

Assume the cycle time is 60 seconds and the minimum number of workstations is 3. Submit for each workstation (1,2,3,4 etc.), the tasks assigned in order of assignment, the idle time for each work station and the total idle time.
