Assembly operations for an electric bike production process were studied. Value added and non-value added operations and their average times are listed in the following table. Assume that you could remove the non-value added operations 2, 5, 7, 9, 14, 16, 27 and 31 from the assembly process. Try to distribute the operations into three stations so that the workload will be balanced as much as possible. How much processing time did you distribute to each of the three stations? What is the cycle time of the whole assembly line?
