Question

Dr. Lori Baker, operations manager at Nesa Electronics, prides herself on excellent assembly-line balancing. She has been told that the firm needs to complete 96 instruments per 24-hour day. The assembly-line activities are: TASK. TIME (min). PREDECESSORS. A 3 — B 6 — C 7 A D 5 A, B E 2 B F 4 C G 5 F H 7 D, E I 1 H J 6 E K 4 G, I, J Total 50 Draw the precedence diagram. If the daily (24-hour) production rate is 96 units, what is the highest allowable cycle time? minutes. If the cycle time after allowances is given as 10 minutes, what is the daily (24-hour) production rate? units per day. With a 10-minute cycle time, what is the theoretical minimum number of stations with which the line can be balanced? With a 10-minute cycle time and six workstations, what is the efficiency? % What is the total idle time per cycle with a 10-minute cycle time and six workstations? minutes.
