The table below lists the work elements (in minutes) to be performed on an assembly line and the precedence requirements that must be satisfied. Annual demand for the product will be 60,000 units. The line will operate one shift (2000 br/yr). Expected line efficiency (proportion uptime) is 95%. Repositioning time per cycle is 6 sec. Manning level is 1.0 for all stations. Determine (a) theoretical minimum number of workers, (b) actual number of workers (c) Construct the precedence diagram and (d) solve the line balancing problem using the RPW method. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 Work element Time (minutes) Preceded by 0.5 0.3 0.8 1.1 0.6 0.2 0.7 1.0 1.2 0.4 0.9 0.1 1.3 1 1,2 2 3 4 5 15 6 7 8,9 10,11,12Step by Step Solution
