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

Answer:54 secs

Step-by-step 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
