A process takes 81 seconds.  There are 10 workers in the section who each spend 0.69 of their time working on this process.  In each iteration of the process 9 units are produced (THINK about the Eraser department in AWI). At 100% capacity, what is the cycle time per unit?

3.The plant works 9 hours per day 5 days per week.  The weekly demand for the product is 13,344 units.  With a cycle time (CT) of 6 seconds, calculate the utilization (Cycle Time/Takt Time).  Enter your answer as a decimal (e.g., if utilization is 50% enter it as .50).

4.The only customer service employee per shift is allowed to spend 0.7 of the 8-hour workday (FTE = 0.7) on a task with a process time of 35 Seconds.  What is the cycle time for this task?
