A company is designing an assembly line for a new line of lamps.It has identified 9 tasks and arranged them as in the following figure. Thenumber in each circle represents the time to complete the task in minutes.Demand for the product is expected to be 20,000 units a year. The new as-sembly line is scheduled to work 8 hour days, 5 day weeks and 50 weeks per6.year.EFH.AB43.43.D3.(a) What is the cycle time necessary to achieve the desired rate of produc-tion?(b) Using the minimum possible number of workstations, assign tasks tobalance the line.Page 4 of 5ది (c) What is the efficiency and idle time of the line?After completing one year of operation, the demand has grown to 30,000units per year. The company is considering two expansion options: it can re-balance the existing line, or obtain a second line. If a second line is obtained,each line would have to be re-balanced since the demand for each individualline would be different.(d) For the single-line option, balance the existing line to meet a demand of30,000 units.(e) For the two-line option, balance the lines to meet an individual demandof 15,000 units. (You only have to show 1 production line.)(f) The current labour agreement makes overtime very expensive for thecompany, and so the company wants to avoid overtime if possible. Giventhis consideration, which option (single-line or two lines) would yourecommend should be implemented?
