3) An assembly line with 11 tasks is to be balanced. The longest task is 2.4 minutes, the shortest task is 0.4 minutes, and the sum of the task times is 18 minutes. The line will operate for 600 minutes per day.
a. Determine the minimum and maximum cycle times.
b. What range of output is theoretically possible for the line?
c. What is the minimum number of stations needed if the maximum output rate is to be sought?
d. What cycle time will provide an output rate of 200 units per day?
4) Brandon's computer shop has hired a consultant to help apply operation management techniques to increase profits. Currently the shop sells most of its computers to a high-end customized online retailer and sales are steady at 250 per month. A single work cell produces the computers. To produce the computer three operations are required. First the parts must be assembled, next software must be installed, and finally the computer must be safely packed and labeled for shipping. These operations take 2 hours, 5 hours, and 1 hour respectively. If there are 6 available work hours each day and the shop operates 20 days per month find:
a. The takt time.
b.The number of workers Brandon should hire.
