An assembly line running at 2000 hours/year is required to meet the annual demand of 50000 units. The total work content
time = 45 min and the manning level is 1. Assuming line efficiency of 0.90 and balancing efficiency of 0.80; determine: (a)
the number of work station required to meet the annual demand, and (b) the number of workers required to meet the annual
demand if repositioning time of 15 sec is considered in part (b).
