Question

An assembly line is to operate eight hours per day with a desired output of 250 units per day. The following table contains information on this product’s task times and precedence relationships:

TASK	TASK TIME (SECONDS)	IMMEDIATE PREDECESSOR
A	50	—
B	20	A
C	25	A
D	35	A
E	60	B, C
F	60	C, D
G	50	E, F
H	90	G

What is the required workstation cycle time to meet the desired output rate?

Note: Round your answer to the nearest whole number.
Balance this line using the longest task time.

Note: Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "0" wherever required.
What is the efficiency of your line balance, assuming it is running at the cycle time determined in part b?

Note: Round your answer to 1 decimal place.
