a)
To determine: To identify the sequence in mixed model of production.
Introduction:
Lean production is a system for the management in which it focuses on reducing waste, checking the quality, and all the efforts are put to fulfill the market needs. All the activities starting from manufacturing to distribution are managed efficiently through the lean system.
b)
To determine: To calculate the repetition of sequence per day.
