Given the following data for jobs awaiting processing at a manufacturing cell in which jobs are first processed by machine A, then by machine B:
$$\begin{array} { c }
\quad\quad\quad{ \text { Process Time (Hours) } } \
\begin{array} { l c c }
\text { Job } & \text { Center A } & \text { Center B } \
\hline \mathrm { W } & 4 & 5 \
\mathrm { X } & 6 & 6 \
\mathrm { Y } & 1 & 2 \
\mathrm { Z } & 5 & 2
\end{array}\end{array}$$ In developing the sequence which will minimize throughput time, where should job X be placed?
