For the next 9 questions consider the following data for a single-product, continuous-flow production line for the manufacture of widgets. Task Immediate Task Time Predecessors (min) A 5 B 00 10 9 A 9 3 D 3 E 4 UO 8 AB D EF E E F G H 6 H 7 E Required output = 20 widgets per day The line can operate up to 8 hours per day No overtime is available. Due to limitations on equipment we cannot use parallel stations, Proposed Line Balance: Station #1 Station #2 Station #3 Station #4 B-A D-F C-E H-G 5 pts Question 10 For the proposed line balance, over the long run, the percentage of the time that station #4 is idle is = 5% and 10% and 15% Question 11 5 pts For each widget that is manufactured by this proposed line balance, the number of minutes of idle labor that the company pays for is O 3 and 6 and 9 5 pts D Question 12 For the proposed line balance, over the long run, the percentage of line labor that is productive labor as opposed to idle time is = 75% and = 85% and 95% Question 13 5 pts How many hours per day would this proposed line have to run in order to produce the daily requirement of widgets? 4 and 6 and = 8 Question 14 5 pts For the proposed line balance, if each station has one worker and all workers are paid $12 per hour what is the unit labor cost of the product? 0 = $5 and = $10 and = $15 Question 15 5 pts From the list balances given below which is the most efficient, feasible balance for this line. A-BC-D-EF-G-H A- CB-F-ED-G-H O A-B-CD-E-FIG-H O A-B-DC-E-GIF-H Question 16 5 pts Suppose we are asked to rebalance the line so that the line produces at least 3 widgets per hour. What is the longest cycle time, in minutes, that could be used? O = 15 and = 20 and = 25
