Answer: 160
Cycle time is the time required to complete one cycle of operation or to complete a task or job from start to finish.
Cycle time = 3 minutes
Total available time = 8 hours or 480 minutes
Daily production rate = Total available time / Cycle time
Daily production rate = 480/3
Daily production rate = 160 units
In an assembly line where the cycle time is 3 minutes and the sum of the...

Compute the takt time for a system where the total time per shift is 480 minutes, there are two shifts, and workers on each shift are given two 15-minute breaks and 45 minutes for lunch. Daily demand is 650 units. What cycle time would match capacity and demand if demand is 120 units a day, there are two shifts of 480 minutes each, and workers are given two half-hour breaks during each shift, one of which is for lunch or...
The operations manager of an instruments company is balancing an
assembly line. The company needs to build 96 instruments per
24-hour day. The assembly line activities are:

b. If the daily (24-hour) production rate is 96 units, what is
the greatest possible cycle time?
c. If the cycle time after allowances is given as 10 minutes,
what is the daily (24-hour) production rate?
d. With a 10-minute cycle time, what is the theoretical minimum
number...

The Mach 10 is a one-person sailboat manufactured by Creative Leisure. The final assembly plant is in Cupertino, California. The assembly area is available for production of the Mach 10 for 200 minutes per day. (The rest of the time it is busy making other products.) The daily demand is 60 boats. Given the following information: Task Predecessors Performance Time (mins) 2. 1 1 A B...
A rider lawn mower is produced on a manual assembly line. Work content time=49.5 min. The line has 25 workstations with a manning level = 1.2. Available shift time per day = 8 hr, but equipment downtime during the shift reduces actual production time to 7.5 hr on average. This results in an average daily production of 244 units/day. Repositioning time per worker = 5% of cycle time. Determine (a) line efficiency, (b) balancing efficiency, and (c) repositioning time.
