44 A manufacturing system is designing a product layout for a new product. They plan to use this production line ten hours a day in order to meet forecasted demand of 900 units per day. The following table describes the tasks necessary to produce this product: TASK A PREDECESSOR TIME(seconds) 34 00:58:04 B A 20 C B 10 D B 16 E C 10 F G D, E F 24 38 If the output rate is to be 900 units per day, what is the minimum number of workstations needed? Cycle Time = operating time per day desired output rate _OT Minimum number of work stations Sum of the task times CT Cycle Time Percentage of idle time Idle time x100 N actual Cycle time Efficiency=100-Percentage of idle time 44 A manufacturing system is designing a product layout for a new product.
