Francis Johnson’s plant needs to design an efficient assembly line to make a new product. The assembly line needs to produce 15 units per hour, and there is room for only four workstations. The tasks and the order in which they must be performed are shown in the following table. Tasks cannot be split, and it would be too expensive to duplicate any task.

- Statement of the ProblemKuala Lumpur Hospital, as we all know, is one of Malaysia's busiest hospitals. This is due to the fact that it admits a diverse range of patients suffering from a diverse range of disorders. These patients have arrived as a result of the health sector that operates in this facility. In other words, the departments within it are quite diverse. As a result, the hospital must deal with a high volume of both existing and new patients. Employees are required to gather patient personal information such as name, address, and so on for all of these admissions. It intends to capture and save their data for further use. Employee admissions, such as physicians and nurses, should also be recorded by the hospital. Furthermore, the hospital must manually record the many departments, rooms, and physicians in hospitals. It is also required to keep frequent records of patients, patients admitted to the hospital, doctor exams on patients, patients who have had surgery, and…arrow_forwardAlvis Construction Supply Company has a department that manufactures wood trusses (wood frames used in the construction industry).
