Test: Test 2 Time Remaining: 01:53:48 Submit Test This Question: 13 pts 7of8(1 complete) This Test: 100 pts possible Stanford Rosenberg Comouting wants to establish an assembly line for producing a new product, the Personal Digital Assistant (PDA). The tasks, task times, and immediate predecessors for the tasks are as follows: Tosk Time Immediate Task (sec) Predecessor 12 14 B, C 20 Rosenberg's goal is to produce 175 PDAs per hour a) The cycle time for the production of a PDAseconds (round your response to two decimal places) b) The theoretical minimum number of workstations that Rosenberg can achieve in this assemb y re- round your response up to he next whole number

Explanation / Answer

a) Cycle time = production time available / units required

Cycle time = 60 minutes / 175 units

Cycle time = 3600 seconds / 175

cycle time = 20.57 seconds

___________________________________________________________

b) The theoretical number of work stations = ( sum of the task times) / cycle time

theoretical number of work stations = ( 12+14+8+5+20) / 20.57

theoretical number of work stations = 3

_________________________________________________

c)

_________________________________________

I was able to assign all the tasks to the theoretical number of work stations.

work station task assigned to work station 1 A,C 2 B,D 3 E
