Q. A industry is designing a product layout for a new product. It plans to use this production line eight hours a day in order to meet projected demand of 400 units per day. The tasks necessary to produce this product are detailed in the table below. Task Predecessor Time (seconds) A - 50 B A 36 C - 26 D - 22 E B, D 70 F C, E 30 b. Without regard to demand, illustrate what is the minimum possible cycle time (in seconds) for this situation; illustrate what is the maximum? c. Illustrate what is the required cycle time (in seconds) in order to meet the projected demand? d. Illustrate what is the minimum number of workstations needed to meet the projected demand? e. Group the tasks into workstations to balance this line using the cycle time calculated in part c also the largest number of subsequent tasks rule. Use the longest processing task time as a tie-breaker to minimize idle time at each station. f. Illustrate what is the efficiency of the line balance obtained in part e?
