Cycle time = time available / units to be made
= 60/180 = 1/3 minutes = 20 sec.
Theoretical min. Number of workstations
= task time / cycle time = 57/20=3
Work assignment
WS1 = A and C ( time 20 sec. Idle time 0)
WS2 = B and D ( time 19 sec. Idle time 1)
WS3 = E ( time 18 sec. Idle time 2)
Total idke time per cycle = 3 sec.
