For Example 17.4 in the text, dealing with a single-station assembly system, suppose that the sequence of assembly elements were to be accomplished on a seven-station assembly system with synchronous parts transfer. Each element is performed at a separate station (stations 2 through 6) and the assembly time at each respective station is the same as the element time given in Example 17.4. Assume that the handling time is divided evenly (3.5 sec each) between a load station (station 1) and an unload station (station 7). The transfer time is 2 sec, and the average downtime per downtime occurrence is 2.0 min. Determine
(a) Production rate of all completed units,
(b) Yield,
(c) Production rate of good quality completed units, and
(d) Uptime efficiency.
