4. xxxxxxx the assembly xxxx xxx the xxxxx xxxxxxxxx in xxx xxxxxx The xxxxxxx output is xxx units per xxxx Available xxxxxxxxxx xxxx xxx day xx xxx minutes.
xxxx xxxxxxx | xxxx xxxxxx | xxxxxxxxx Predecessor(s) |
A | xx | xxx |
B | 45 | x--- |
x | x55 | A |
x | 55 | xx |
x | x65 | B |
x | xxx | xxx |
G | 25 | xxxx |
xxxx is xxx xxxxxxx xxxxx xxxx xx seconds? xx xxxxxxx
xxxxxxxx
Production xxxx xxx day x xxx minutes x 8 xxxxx
Desired xxxxxx rate(r) is xxx xxxxx per day = xxxxx = xx xxxxx xxx hour
Hence, desired xxxxx xxxx in seconds is given by
c x xxxxxxx x 120 xxxxxxx xxx xxxxx
xxxx is xxx theoretical xxxxxxx number xx stations? xx xxxxxxx
Answer:-
Theoretical minimum, TM x xxxx of all xxxxx xx
x (40+45+55+55+65+40+25)/360
xxxx = xxxxxxx =
