15.26 (A) A batch-model assembly line is being planned to produce three portable power tools: a drill, a sander, and a jig saw. The three models will be produced in batches because annual demand for each power tool is not sufficient to employ a line full time for each. Time to change over the line between production runs is 4 hr. The line will op- erate 40 hr/wk, 50 wk/yr, 1 worker per station. Data on work content time, cycle time, and annual demand are presented in the table below. Estimated line efficiency = 0.95 and balance efficiency = 0.93. Repositioning time per worker = 9 sec. Batches of each power tool will be produced 10 times/yr, with batch quantities proportional to annual demand for each product. Determine (a) the number of workers on the line, (b) the production rates for the three products, and (c) the production schedule for the year. Product A Drill B Sander C Jig saw Work Content Time 26 min 19 min 28 min Annual Demand 30,000 18,000 12,000
