(28 points) Consider an assembly line in a company which operates 6 days in a week, one shift a day and the duration of a shift is 8 hours. 45min lunch-break and 15min tea-break is available for the workers in a shift. The line stops during these breaks. 450 products are required to be produced on the assembly line in a week. Each station must have a worker and there is 12sec. re-positioning time. From the historical data of the line, the line efficiency is estimated to be 96%. The following table provides details of the product produced in this assembly line.
a) What is the hourly Production Rate (Rp)?(3 points)
b) What is the Cycle Time (Tc)?(3 points)
c) What is the Service Time (Ts)?(3 points)
d) What is the theoretical minimum number of workers (w**) required for the line? (3 points)
e) Draw the precedence diagram. (3 points)
f) Balance the line by Ranked Positional Weight (RPW) Rule, if there is a tie between the work elements, break the ties according to maximum Tek values. (10 points)
g) Calculate the balance efficiency. (3 points)
