35-An assembly line has been set up as a flow line. As each component of the final product is attached, the semi finishedassembly is then passed to the next person on the line. This process continues until the final product is completed. There aresix steps in place to complete the assembly. The line works one 10 hour shi perday (assume a 60 minute hour), 5 days per

week. The demand for the product is 1000 per day.-An assembly line has been set up as a flow line.
