- Give typed full explanationarrow_forwardA local toy manufacturer is using a production line that runs 8 hours per day and produces a toy that requires a total of 7 tasks to be performed. 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.
