Question: A large manufacturer of pencil sharpeners is planning to add a new line of sharpeners, and you have been asked to balance the process, given the following task times and precedence relationships. Assume that cycle time is to the minimum possible.
| Task | Time (min.) | Immediate Follower |
| a | 0.2 | b |
| b | 0.4 | d |
| c | 0.3 | d |
| d | 1.3 | g |
| e | 0.1 | f |
| f | 0.8 | g |
| g | 0.3 | h |
| h | 1.2 | end |
- Draw the precedence diagram.
- Assign tasks to stations in order of greatest number of following tasks first.
- Determine the percentage of idle time.
