a) When designing a product layout, what two criteria must be followed(during the line balancing phase) to ensure a valid product flow line design is produced and why? b) A

manufacturer wishes to produce 1100 units per day on a production line and intends to use a product layout. The assembly information for the product is outlined in Table Q1 below. (i)Assuming a 24 hour day, calculate the maximum cycle time required to produce the desired output.(2 marks) (ii)Calculate the minimum number of work stations.(2 marks) (iii)Produce the precedence diagram.(5 marks) (iv)Produce a line design which achieves the required cycle time. (v)Calculate the balance loss (vi)What approaches can be used in practice, to reduce the individual cycle time of tasks, so that the overall efficiency of the process can be improved?
