Quick Start Technologies (QST) helps companies design facility layouts. One of its clients is building five new assembly plants across the continental United States. QST will design the assembly-line layout and ship the layout instructions, along with the appropriate machinery to each new locale. Use the precedence and time requirements given below to design an assembly line that will produce a new product every 12 minutes. Construct a precedence diagram, group the tasks into workstations, determine the efficiency of the line, and calculate the expected output for an eight-hourday.
