Read the Chapter 9 Case Study "Facility Layout at Wheeled Coach Ambulance" and watch the video, then write a summary of at least 300 words using the accompanying discussion questions to guide your essay written in APA style, with a reference page and a cover page.https://www.mathxl.com/Student/MediaPopup.aspx?typ...Facility Layout at Wheeled CoachWhen President Bob Collins began his career at Wheeled Coach, theworld’s largest manufacturer of ambulances, there were only a handful ofemployees. Now the firm’s Florida plant has a workforce of 350. Thephysical plant has also expanded, with offices, R&D, final assembly,and wiring, cabinetry, and upholstery work cells in one large building.Growth has forced the painting work cell into a separate building,aluminum fabrication and body installation into another, inspection andshipping into a fourth, and warehousing into yet another. Like many growing companies, Wheeled Coach was not able to design itsfacility from scratch. And while management realizes thatmaterial-handling costs are a little higher than an ideal layout wouldprovide, Collins is pleased with the way the facility has evolved andemployees have adapted. The aluminum cutting work cell lies adjacent tobody fabrication, which, in turn, is located next to the body-installation work cell. And while the vehicle must be driven across astreet to one building for painting and then to another for finalassembly, at least the ambulance is on wheels. Collins is alsosatisfied with the flexibility shown in design of the work cells. Cellconstruction is quite modular and can accommodate changes in product mixand volume. Additionally, work cells are typically small and moveable,with many work benches and staging racks borne on wheels so that theycan be easily rearranged and products transported to the assembly line.Assembly-line balancing is one key problem facing Wheeled Coach andevery other repetitive manufacturer. Produced on a schedule calling forfour 10-hour work days per week, once an ambulance is on one of the sixfinal assembly lines, it must move forward each day to the nextworkstation. Balancing just enough workers and tasks at each of theseven workstations is a never-ending challenge. Too many workers end uprunning into each other; too few can’t finish an ambulance in 7 days.Constant shifting of design and mix and improved analysis has led tofrequent changes.Discussion Questions*1. Develop a layout model for Wheeled Coach. Include in your model eachstep in the process. Assigned the steps with predecessors. Use minutesas your time increment. Calculate a cycle time, theoretical time,balance the line using the longest task time rule and determine theefficiency from your simulated data. 2. What other analytical techniques are available to help a company like Wheeled Coach deal with layout problems?3. What suggestions would you make to Bob Collins about his layout?4. How would you measure the “efficiency” of this layout?

R is a free statistical software that is frequently and widely used.  Go to R-Project for Statistical Computing (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. to download the R software to your computer (follow the instructions provided in the attached R Installation Instructions sheet). The R Project website (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. provides a brief introduction to R that you may also want to review.   n this CT assignment, we will use R software to analyze a dataset GoogleAmazonStock.xlsx. It contains daily closing stock prices for Google and Amazon from 8/22/2017 to 8/22/2018. When we examine stock prices (or other financial assets) we often transform them into a (simple) return series. The return series are computed by the formula: (present price/past price) - 1. The dataset contains both stock prices and return series. 1. Using R, construct time series (line) plots for both stock prices and return series. R functions ts.plot or plot can create the plot. Describe the patterns and compare the plots. 2. Based on the return series, can we claim that the mean Amazon return series is higher than that of Google? a. What would be an appropriate test of the claim above? Explain. b. Write the null and alternative hypotheses. c. Using R, perform the test. d. Write the decision in the problem context.   Take the screenshots of the R graphs and output as well as the code. Paste them into a Word document along with your answers to the questions above. Clearly label the questions and answers. Submit the Word file in Canvas.
