Question:

Suppose you need to assemble 72 Quickline Guest tables in one hour (see the photos on the next page). The assembly activities and their standard times are listed below. Using common sense, draw a precedence network and calculate the cycle time. Then, perform assembly-line balancing using “Assign the task with the longest time” heuristic rule, breaking ties using “Assign tire task with the most followers” heuristic rule. Any further ties can be broken randomly.
