5. - 8 Points - Emerald Systems plans to manufacture its new line of smart watches at a plant in Galway, Ireland. It has determined that it must produce 320 watches per 8-hour day to meet the forecasted demand for the product. Use line balancing and the information below to create a simple product layout for the manufacturing plant. Answer the questions below and show your work just as we did in class and in the line balancing examples. Note: The precedence diagram is shown in a separate pdf file also. Task Task Time (seconds) Immediate Predecessor Number of Followers A 12 B 15 A 10 B D 17 E 11 F 18 E G 23 F H 24 D I 19 G J 16 I K 13 J Total Instructions: Determine the Number of Followers for each task and the total of the task times in the table above. Then answer the questions on the next page. Problem 5: Precedence Diagram A B C D H E F K G I J Problem 5 (continued) Calculate the required Cycle Time per unit. If you calculate a fractional value, round up to an integer value. = Cycle Time = Operating Time per Day/Desired Output Rate Note: Operating Time must be converted to the same time units as task times. Cycle Time = Calculate the Theoretical Minimum Number of Workstations. Theoretical Minimum Number of WS=Sum of Task Times/ Time Note: To avoid being short processing capacity, the number of workstations must always be rounded up. Theoretical Minimum = Balance the line using the table on the next page. Using the previously calculated Cycle Time, assign tasks to work stations using the Greatest Number of Followers Rule. Note: In the case of a tie, the task with the longest task time should be assigned first to a workstation.
