A company is designing a product layout for a new product. It plans to use this production line eight hours a day in order to meet projected demand of 480 units per day. The tasks necessary to produce this product are: Task Time(secs) Immediate Predecessor u 30 none v 30 u w 6 u x 12 w y 54 x z 30 v, y Without regard to demand, what is the minimum possible cycle time (in seconds) for this situation

54 secs

Explanation:

Task   Time(secs)    Immediate Predecessor

u           30                   none

v           30                       u

w            6                       u

x            12                       w

y             54                      x

z             30                    v,y

The minimum possible cycle time is  defined as length of longest task time from the number  of tasks required to produce a product.

From the table given above culled from the question, 54seconds is the length of the longest task time.
