Knock-off board games similar to Monopoly.

          This short case deals with a company that produces knock-off board games similar to Monopoly. It illustrates that a plant can use multiple types of transformation systems simultaneously. It also illustrates the connection between cycle time and capacity. Your team must produce a case document that addresses the following questions: What is the cycle time of the 19-station line? What is its efficiency? On the basis of the task descriptions, develop a precedence graph for the assembly tasks. Using these precedence relationships, develop a list of recommendations for rebalancing the line in order to improve its performance. What would be the impact on the line's efficiency if your recommendations were implemented?
