In Problem 16.18, if the capacity of the proposed storage buffer is to be 20 parts, determine
Question:
(a) Line efficiency, and
(b) Production rate of the line.
Assume that the downtime (Td = 6.0 min) is a constant.
Problem 16.18
A 30-station transfer line has an ideal cycle time of 0.75 min, an average downtime of 6.0 min per line stop occurrence, and a station failure frequency of 0.01 for all stations. A proposal has been submitted to locate a storage buffer between stations 15 and 16 to improve line efficiency.
