PROBLEM I: In an assembly line, there are 7
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, 5.6 4.7 6.4 6.8 10.0 7.3 2.9 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 (1) The output capacity of the assembly line is: (a) 32 (b) 40 () 36 (d) 48 (e) none of the above (2) The percent of idle time (rounded to 2 decimal places) is: (a) 27.84 (6) 32.39 (c) 49.29 (d) 37.57 (e) 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 (6) 4 (d) 5 (0)6 (6) None of the above Re-organize the workstations so that you can produce at least 32 units, while minimizing the idle time. (4) After the ro-organization, the output capacity of the assembly line is: (a) 30 (b) 32 (c) 24 (d) 36 (e) None of the above (5) After, the re-organization, the percent of idle time (rounded to 2 decimal places) is: (a) 13.84 (b) 24.39 (c) 17.23 (d) 8.56 (e) none of the above
