PROBLEM I: In an assembly line, there are 7 workstations, as shown below. In row 1 , you are given the processing times in minutes. Row 2 gives the workstation number. Assume an 8-hour (480-minute) work day. (1) The output capacity of the assembly line is: (a) 32 (b) 40 (c) 36 (d) 48 (c) none of the above (2) The pereent of idle time (rounded to 2 decimal places) is: (a) 27.84 (b) 32.39 (c) 49.29 (d) 37.57 (c) None of the above (3) If the desired output rate is 32 units per day, the minimum number of workstations needed is: (a)2(b)3(c)4(d)5(e)6(b)Noneoftheabove Re-organize the workstations so that you can produce at least 32 units, while minimizing the idle time. (4) After the re-organization, the output capacity of the assembly line is: (5) After, the re-organization, the perent of idle time (rounded to 2 decimal places) is: (a) 13.84 (b) 24.39 (c) 17.23 (d) 8.56 (c) none of the above
