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 6 7 (1) The output capacity of the assembly line is: (u) 32 (b) 40 (c) 36 (d) 48 (e) none of the above (2) The percent of idle time (rounded to 2 decimal places) is (1) 27.84 (b) 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 (c) 4 (d) 5 (e) 6 (b) 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 re-organization, the output cupacity of the assembly line is: (a) 30 (b) 32 (c) 24 (d) 36 (c) None of the above (5) After, the re-organization, the percent of idle time frounded to 2 decimal places) is: (a) 13.84 (b) 24.39 (0) 17.23 (d) 8.56(e) none of the above
