Question

The preinduction physical examination given by the U.S. Army involves the following seven activities:

a) The correct precedence relationship with the assignment of tasks to workstations that minimizes the cycle time is shown in ____below (where Par. 1, Par. 2, and Par. 3 represent the three paramedics and Doc. 1 and Doc. 2 represent the two doctors).

There are 5 workstations, three managed by the paramedics and the other two managed by the doctors. Given the 5 workstations, the least possible cycle time is____ minutes (enter your response as a whole number)

b) the number of people that can be processed using the assembly line in an hour___people (round to 2 decimal places)

c) The activity that is the current bottleneck is___

d) For the assembly line, the idle time per cycle=___minutes (enter as a whole number)

e) If an extra paramedic was available, the paramedic should be assigned to activity___to reduce cycle time

Explanation / Answer

A.

So cycle time for min is Fig 2 with 16 mins

Given the 5 workstations, the least possible cycle time is__16__ minutes

b) the number of people that can be processed using the assembly line in an hour___people (round to 2 decimal places) = 60/16 = 3.75

c) The activity that is the current bottleneck is E, as it takes 16 min.

d) For the assembly line, the idle time per cycle=__9 _minutes

e) If an extra paramedic was available, the paramedic should be assigned to activity__E_to reduce cycle time

As it is the bottleneck process.
