- A factory production department consists of a large number of work cells. Each cell consists of one human worker performing electronics assembly tasks. The cells are organized into sections within the department, and one foreman supervises each section. It is desired to know how many work cells should be assigned to each foreman. The foreman’s job consists of two tasks: (1) provide each cell with a sufficient supply of parts that it can work for 4 h before it needs to be resupplied and (2) prepare production reports for each work cell. Task (1) takes 18 min on average per work cell and must be done twice per day. The foreman must schedule the resupply of parts to every cell so that no idle time occurs in any cell. Task (2) takes 9 min per work cell and must be done once per day. Neither the workers nor the foreman are allowed to work more than 8 h/day.
