Question 1 In a multi-station production facility, utility workers comprise 21% of the workforce and the rest are equally assigned to workstations. The management is considering a modernization plan for enhancing the level of automation, according to which: - The average manning level will be decreased by 20.00%, - The proportion of worker types (utility vs. machine operators) may change while the total number of workers will be kept the same, - Current machines will be replaced with modern machines and 11 additional modern machines will be added to the facility, - Each modern machine will require 3 less worker(s) to operate. Calculate the number of future workstations.
