An assembly line is to operate eight hours per day with
a desired output of 240 units per day. The following precedence
diagram contains information on this product’s task times and
precedence relationships.
What is the efficiency of your line balance, assuming it
is running at the cycle time from part (a)?
Determine the theoretical minimum number of workstations
required (the actual number may be greater).

Your assembly line with 5 tasks is to be balanced. The longest task takes 3.2 minutes to complete, and the total time for all tasks is 16.8 minutes. The line operates 435 minutes per day. How many workstations are needed if management wants 925 units to be produced each day?
The current equipment allows your production line to assemble 1520 widgets per day with a takt time of 4.05 minutes. A vendor is proposing their new equipment which would allow you to assemble 1860 widgets per day. What would the new takt time be? Keep two decimal places in your answer.
Wild Widget must set up an assembly line for widgets. Forecasts show that 68 units per hour should be produced.

Problem 6-22 Francis Johnson's plant needs to design an efficient assembly line to make a new product. The assembly line needs to produce 24 units per hour, and there is room for only five workstations. The tasks and the order in which they must be performed are shown in the following table. Tasks cannot be split, and it would be too expensive to duplicate any task TASK TIME IMMEDIATE TASK (MINUTES) PREDECESSOR 1.0 1.0 2.5 1.5 A, B, C 1.5...

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:
a. Draw the precedence diagram.
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...

A manual assembly line is to be designed to make a small consumer product. The work elements, their times, and precedence constraints are given in the table below. The workers will operate the line for 400 min per day and must produce 300 products per day. A mechanized belt, moving at a speed of 1.25 m/min, will transport the products between stations. Because of the variability in the time required to perform the assembly operations, it has been determined that...
