Minimum cycle time ? minutes

Maximum cycle time ? minutes

b. What range of output is theoretically possible for the line? (Round your answers to whole numbers.)

Minimum output ? units per day

Maximum output ? units per day

c. What is the minimum number of workstations needed if the maximum output rate is to be sought? (Round your answer up to a whole number.)

Minimum number of workstations ? d. What cycle time will provide an output rate of 124 units per day? (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)

Cycle time ? minutes per cycle e. What output potential will result for the following cycle times? (Round your answers to whole numbers.)

10 minutes ? units per day

15 minutes ? units per day

Should the units be rounded up?
