Level Operations is a small company located in eastern Pennsylvania. It produces a variety of security devices and safes. The safes come in several different designs. Recently, a number of new customers have placed orders, and the production facility has been enlarged to accommodate increased demand for safes.

After discussions with engineering, Stephanie determined that the best production sequence for each cycle isS7-S8-S9-S1-S2.
