(b) The appropriate number of production machines to be assigned to a worker in a worker-machine cell is to be determined. Let n denote the number of machines. Each production machine is identical and has an automated processing time of 4.0 min. to produce one piece. The servicing time is 12 secs for each machine. The full cycle time for a machine in the cell is given as the sum of the machine processing time and the servicing time. The repositioning time of the worker is given by 5+3n secs. Determine the maximum number of machines allowed in a cell by assuming no idle time is allowed. For this value calculated, compute the worker idle time per cycle (expressed as a percentage of cycle time). (12 marks) [Total : 25 marks]
