I’m looking for part f and part f only: the efficiency of the assembly line with 5 work stations. All of the other parts are already answered and stated in the images. Thanks
What are advantages and disadvantages of work cells?  What is a heuristic? Name several that can be used in assembly-line balancing.
The following tasks are to be performed on an assembly line: TASK SECONDS TASKS THAT MUST PRECEDE A 20 — B 7 A C 20 B D 22 B E 15 C F 10 D G 16 E, F H 8 G The workday is seven hours long. The demand for completed product is 750 per day. Find the cycle time required to meet the desired output rate. Note: Round your answer to 1 decimal place.   What is the theoretical number of workstations required to meet the desired output rate? Note: Round up your answer to the next whole number.   Balance the line using sequential restrictions and the longest-operating-time rule. Determine the task under each workstation and the idle time for each such task. Note: Round your answers to 1 decimal place.   What is the efficiency of the line balanced as in part (d) assuming it is running at the cycle time determined in part (a)? Note: Round your answer to 1 decimal place.   Suppose that demand rose from 750 to 800 units per day. Determine the cycle time. (Use the…
