A manager wants to assign tasks to workstations as efficiently as possible and achieve an hourly output of 28 units. Assume the shop works a 56-minute hour. Assign the tasks shown in the accompanying precedence diagram (times are in minutes) to workstations using the following rules: 1.7 Cycle time Work Station I || 0.9 III IV 0.5 0.7 d a. What is Cycle time? (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.) Answer is complete and correct. minutes Task 0.8 2.00 In order of most following tasks. Tiebreaker: greatest positional weight.

Question 2:
A manager wants to assign tasks to workstations as efficiently as possible and achieve an hourly output of 28 units. Assume the shop works a 56-minute hour. Assign the tasks shown in the accompanying precedence diagram (times are in minutes) to workstations using the following rules: (SEE PHOTO)
a. What is Cycle time? (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)
In order of most following tasks. Tiebreaker: greatest positional weight. (Use your rounded cycle time. Enter your tasks in the order they were assigned at each station as a letter between a and h in lowercase with no other text or symbols. Round your numerical answers to 1 decimal place.)
What is Efficiency? (Use your rounded cycle time in the denominator of your efficiency calculation. Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)
b. In order of greatest positional weight. Tiebreaker: most following tasks. (Use your rounded cycle time. Enter your tasks in the order they were assigned at each station as a letter between a and h in lowercase with no other text or symbols. Round your numerical answers to 1 decimal place.)
What is Efficiency? (Use your rounded cycle time in the denominator of your efficiency calculation. Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)
I attempted to solve this but some of my answers are incorrect. (Correct answers have a green check mark in the photo) Help please?
