PART E ONLY PLEASE. LOOK OVER THE QUESTION CAREFULLY

4. One of Canadian Air Conditioners Inc._CAC) newer products the TMP-20 thermostat, was developed for a new model of air conditioners to be introduced in 2014. Since this product is a modified version of an earlier thermostat, the assembly process to produce the thermostat had to be redesigned Listed below are the station times in minutes to assemble the old thermostat and the new TMP-20 thermostat Station Old Thermostat TMP-20 1 2 1.7 1.8 2.5 2.4 1.9 1.7 1.8 2.2 2.3 2.1 4 5 A. What is the Cycle time of the TMP-20 line? Cycle time - highest of all stations @ TMP -20 = 2.3 B What is the Efficiency of the TMP-20 line? C=cycle time = 2.3 N=number of work stations = 5 Sum=(1.7+1.8+2.2+2.3+2.1) Efficiency % = (Sumt'ns * (100) Efficiency = (10.145*2.3))*100) Efficiency %= 87.82% C. If each worker is paid $21.00 per hour on the TMP-20 line, how much money is lost in a 10 hour shift due to balance delay? Currently the following workers are assigned to each station the old thermostat as follows: Worker Station Ave. Efficiency 1 Thomas Paul Jean Kris Will 4 2 5 3 102% 119% 95% 100% 110% Balance Delay = 1/total cycle time Station 2 3 4 5 Total Cycle time 1.7 1.8 2.2 2.3* 2.1 10.1 Idle time 6 5 .1 0 .2 1.4 Balance Delay = 1/10.1 = .099 *100 = 9.9% Time lost in 10 hours = 10*(1/10.193.9900 hours. So money lost - 9900*21 = $20.79 D. What is the present nominal hourly production rate (in units/hour) for the old thermostat? station 1 2 3 4 5 cycle time Efficiency Effective cycle time 1.7 1.02 1.666667 1.8 0.95 1.894737 2.5 1.1 2.272727 1.19 2.016807 1 1.9 2.4 1.9 Effective cycle = 1.894 minutes Hourly nominal output = 60/1.894 = 31.67 units/hr E. Assuming the workers can shift to the production of the new TMP-20 thermostat while maintaining the same average efficiency, regardless of which assembly station they are at what worker would you assign to each station to achieve the highest possible hourly output rate? What level of hourly output can be achieved, given these new assignments? O Station Worker 2 3 4 5 units/hr
