Intro- Supply Chain Management
Problem : Line Balancing
First shift employees at Harley-Davidson work from 6am to 2pm Monday through Friday. Everyone on the motorcycle assembly line is allowed a 30 minute lunch and two 20 minute breaks, but other cross-trained associates cover lunches and breaks for the associates on the assembly line so the line doesn’t stop. The processes of the assembly line have the following dependencies:
Task Predecessor Average Time (sec)
A none 60
B A 40
C A 80
D B, C 40
E D 100
F D 110
G E, F 30
The Plant Manager needs first shift to achieve an output of 200 motorcycles.
1- Compute the Takt time for the line.
2- What is the theoretical minimum number of workstations?
3- Draw the precedence diagram, and then create work stations. Follow the “largest eligible task” heuristic rule to assign these tasks to the work stations. Show which tasks are assigned to each workstation.
4- Compute the efficiency and percent idle time for the system.
5- What is the maximum output that could be achieved by a single assembly line in 8 hours?
