ONLY NEED HELP WITH E & F.
The Action Toy Company has decided to manufacture a new train set, the production of which is broken into six steps. The demand for the train is
4,500
units per 40-hour workweek:
| Task | Performance Time (seconds) | Predecessors | |
| A | 22 | ||
| B | 27 | A | |
| C | 14 | A | |
| D | 15 | A | |
| E | 12 | B, C | |
| F | 27 | D, E | |
This exercise only contains parts b, c, d, e, and f.
b) Given the demand, the cycle time for the production of the new train set =
3232
seconds (round your response to one decimal place).
c) The theoretical minimum number of
workstations=44
(round your response up to the next whole number).
d) Using the longest operation time rule, the assignment of tasks to workstations should be: (Hint: Number workstations sequentially in terms of precedence relationships and combine any applicable tasks.)
| Task | Workstation # |
| A | Station 1 |
| B | Station 2 |
| C | Station 3 |
| D | Station 3 |
| E | Station 4 |
| F | Station 5 |
Were you able to assign all the tasks to the theoretical minimum number of workstations?
No
Total Idle Time per Cycle = i=15(Largest Assigned Task TimeTask Time for Station i)
E. The total idle time per cycle for the process = ______seconds (enter your response as a whole number).
Efficiency = Task times(Actual number of workstations)(Largest assigned task time)
F. The efficiency of the assembly line with 5 workstations = ___________(enter your response as a percentage rounded to two decimal places).
If one used 5 workstations instead of 4, the efficiency of the assembly line would be = _______(enter your response as a percentage rounded to two decimal places).
