A manufacturer is designing a product layout for a new product production. It plans to use a production line for 8 hours per day in order to meet forecasted demand of 180 units per day. The product requires 7 tasks in total. These tasks are namely, A, B, C, D, E, F, and G respectively. Task A does not have any predecessor to start. To start Task B, it requires Task A to be completed. Starting tasks C needs, the task B to be completed. Also, starting task D needed task B to be completed. Task E can only start upon completion of Task C. Whereas starting task F needs the completion of both the tasks D and E. Finally, starting task G needed, task F to be completed. The processing times for tasks, A, B, C, D, E, F, and G are 2.4, 2.2, 0.9, 1.0, 1.2, 1.8, are 1.5 minutes respectively. Applying the most remaining tasks rule for balancing the assembly line, with ties broken according to longest task time first. What will be the idle time for the LAST Workstation? a. 0.57 b. 1.17 О с. 0.47 O d. None is the correct answer е. 0.27
