Master Code Electronics Company (MCEC) is setting up a process to manufacture the main controller board used in a portable scanner. MCEC runs a single shift daily which is 9 hours long. Not all 9 hours are productive, there is a lunch break of 30 minutes and two short breaks of 10 minutes each. Demand for completed products is 480 units daily. The process of making these controller boards is broken down into 15 work elements (tasks) and is to be organized as an assembly line. The precedence relationships and time requirements of each element are as follows: TASK A B D E F G H J K Workstation/s L M Feasible Task/ (s) N O TIME (seconds) 30 27 30 30 32 16 30 23 23 16 34 28 18 Total: 388 seconds 25 26 Task Selected TASK THAT MUST PRECEDE Draw a schematic diagram for the manufacturing process. (b) What should the workstation cycle time be in the assembly line in order to meet the daily demand? (c) What is the theoretical minimum number of workstations required to meet the daily demand? (d) Balance the assembly line with minimum number of stations to meet the demand. What is the percentage of total idle time across the entire assembly line? Use the following rules: B A Primary rule: Longest task time Secondary rule for breaking ties: Most number of following tasks E D, E F G D H I G, J Note: If secondary rule is not successful in breaking the tie, use alphabetical order as your second tie-breaking rule. C, L K, M, N In order to answer part (d), please fill in a table with column headers given below showing your every step. Selected Task Time (sec/s) Remaining Cycle Time (sec/s) Is the Secondary Rule applied? (Yes/No)
