The tasks shown in the following precedence diagram are to be assigned to workstations with the intent of minimizing idle time. Management has designed an output rate of 275 units per day. Assume 440 minutes are available per day.

Determine the appropriate cycle time.

What is the minimum number of stations possible?

Use both Largest conductive Rule and Ranked Positional Weight Technique (RPWI) to assign the tasks and compare the efficiencies.
