Question
(An assembly line with 17 tasks is to be balanced. The longest task is 2.4 minutes, and the total time for all tasks is 18 minutes. The line will operate for 450 minutes per day. What are the minimum and maximum cycle times? What range of output is theoretically possible for the line? What is the minimum number of workstations needed if the maximum output rate is to be sought? What cycle time will provide an output rate of 125 units per day? What output potential will result if the cycle time is 9 minutes? 15 minutes? NOTE: you may answer number 4 in an excel format. Remember, presentation counts!Explanation / Answer
max cycle time is the cycle time of the longest task hence = 2.4 min
min = (18-2.4)/16 = 0.975 min
range of output = total available time / takt time
taking takt time = cycle time
range = 450/2.4 = 187.5 units
cycle time = total time / units = 450/125 = 3.6 min
output potential
cycle time = 9 min ----450 /9 = 50 units
cycle time = 15 min -----450 /15 = 30 units
