| An assembly line is to be designed to operate 12 hours per day and supply a steady demand of 450 units per day. Here are the tasks and their performance times: |
Solution
b. work station time is= 205 seconds
total working time is= 12*60*60= 43200 seconds
43200/450= 96 seconds per unit
c. minimum number of work stations= 5
d. the work stations are= ADGJL
e. they are using efficiency of = 96/205= 48%
f. then the output should be increased
