Question 1 Tailwind, Inc., produces high-quality but expensive training shoes for runners. The Tailwind shoe, which sells for $210, contains both gas- and liquid-filled compartments to provide more stability and better protection against knee, foot, and back injuries. Manufacturing the shoes requires 10 separate tasks. There are 400 minutes available for manufacturing the shoes in the plant each day. Daily demand is 60. The information for the tasks is as follows: Performance Time Task Must Follow Task (in minutes) This Task C, D |ABBAFG -324-325- Н E, H ABCDEFGHI- 25 32

The product time per day is 8 hours and the production schedule requires 300 pizzas per day by the assembly time. 1. Draw the precedence diagram of the operation. 2. Determine the cycle time of the line. 3. Calculate the minimum number of workstations for this operation. 4. Construct the line layout of the operations following by rules below: 5. Longest task time rule. 6. Number of following rules. 7. Compute the resulting efficiency and balance of delay percentages. 8. If a worker is paid RM35 per day, compute the cost of idleness per week (assuming a work 6-day week).
Please walk me through each step and the reasoning behind the step I don't understand
Twelve 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.

Assign tasks to stations under each of the two rules.c. Compute the percentage of idle time for each rule
The Assembly department at WCP's Ltd received the following job orders for tomorrow Job Processing Time (days) Due Time (days) A B C 4 D E a) Scquence the jobs according to EDD, SOT, LIFO b) Decide which sequence is the most cflicient to have the jobs done.
Regarding section D with assigning the workstations: How would Task F go first if it could not be completed with Task D? Usint LOT. regardless of the time each took, doesn't one still have to bare in mind the predecessors? I would assume Tasks A and B would be Workstation 1, considering that 45 plus 20 seconds is less than the cycle time and factoring in the fact that C only requires A to be completed, hence why the workstation should start at A followed by C.
Use the given tasks and predecessors for this problem. The required cycle time is 25 seconds and tasks are assigned to workstations using the "longest task time" rule to break any ties. If task A is assigned to Workstation 1, what is the next task that should be assigned to Workstation 1? (slide 28) Task Time (sec) Predecessor(s) A 20 none B. 30 C 10 D. 20 В. С Task B O None. Workstation 1 should only have Task A assigned. O Task C O Task D
The company has obtained a new contract to finish up some apartments that had been constructed by another firm whose contract has since been terminated by the building consortium that hired it. There are six apartments. DeLaw Construction Limited has the contract to first electrically wire each apartment and to then paint them. Wiring must be completed before painting and the company can only work on one apartment at a time. Determine the optimal sequence in which DeLaw Construction should do each apartment. Provide a time line for the sequence as well. The table below shows how much time each apartment is estimated to require for both wiring and painting, in days. Each apartment is denoted by the area it is located in. APARTMENT WIRING (days) PAINTING (days) Freeport 10 14 Cascade 6 11 Tacarigua 13 9 St Madeleine 4 8 La Romaine 12 7 Cedros 3 4

Given the following information, assign tasks to work stations using the most followers rule. 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. (It will help for you to make the diagram but you are not required to submit the diagram) Task A D w Immediate Predecessor D CE Task Time (seconds) 35 50 20 10 25 40
