Prob. 15 Assume 8 hours per day. Hence 8 x 60 minutes per day Efficiency is 92%. Hence # of units to be produced per day 750/0.92 = 816 Cycle Time = 480/816 = 0.588 Using largest Candidate rule: 3,1 2,5 4 8,6 7,9 10 14 17 12, 11 15, 13 16, 18 Similar calculations for time at each station and efficiency can be done
