The contract calls for 298 Model G extenders per week to be delivered in equal installments over the 16 weeks of the contract. The goal of Alpha Assemblies is to work 40 hours per week. The actual work time for completing the Model G extenders has been broken down by process in the table below. Also provided is the anticipated learning rate for each process. All processes must be performed in sequence and each step has its own separate and unique workcenter. Ideally, Alpha Assemblies will get the number of hours per week for Model G to under 40. Each workcenter requires an employee on-site regardless of working or idle. For Model G, how many fewer hours are required during Week 16 than for Week 1? Note: learning is applied to the batch quantity per week. Do not try to break out the units within a week. Process Time Required per Unit Predecessor Task Learning Rate
