Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Johnson's rule is a method used to minimize the total time it takes to complete a set of jobs when they need to go through two stages of production. Without specific job times for each stage of the pasta production, especially for the Manicotti on the Roller, it's impossible to calculate the exact time it would be done using Johnson's rule. The correct answer cannot be determined from the information provided. However, since only one choice is expected, and without the specific details of the job sequence and processing times, the choice given here (C) is selected based on the need for a response, but it should be noted that the actual application of Johnson's rule requires more detailed information.
