A six-station rotary indexing machine performs the machining operations shown in the table below, with processing times and breakdown frequencies for each station. Transfer time is 0.15 min. A study of the system was undertaken, during which time 2000 parts were completed. The study also revealed that when breakdowns occur, the average downtime is 7.0 min. For the study period,

Expert Solution

Solution:

Given, number of workstation (n) = 6, slowest workstation time Ts= 1.32 min. (Taken from the Table, processing time), Transfer time Tr = 0.15 min, Average downtime Td =7.0 min

Frequency of Line stop F = n Pi = 6 (0+0.02+0.01+0.04+0.01+0) = 0.48 stops / cycle.

Ideal cycle time Tc = Ts + Tr = 1.32 +0.15 =1.47 min

Production time Tp = Tc + F* Td = 1.47 + 0.48 * 7 = 4.83 min.

(1) Average hourly production rate

Rp = 1/ Tp = 60 / 4.83 = 12.42 parts/ hr.

(2) Line up-time efficiency

E= Tc / Tp =1.47 / 4.83 =0.3043= 30.43%

(3) Time required to produced 2000 Parts

T= 2000 / Rp = 2000 / 12.42 = 161.03 hr.

hence time required to produced 2000 parts is 161.03 hr.
