Question
A twelve-station in-line assembly machine has an ideal cycle time = 10 sec. The base part is
automatically loaded prior to the first station, and components are added at each of the stations.
The fraction defect rate at each of the ten stations isq = 0.01, and the probability that a defect will
jam is m = 0.6. When a jam occurs, the average downtime is 3.0 min. Cost to operate the assembly
machine is $90.00/hr. Cost of components being assembled is $0.60 per unit assembly. Other costs
are ignored. Determine (a) average production rate (asby/hr) of all assemblies, (b) yield of good
assemblies, (c) average production rate of good product (asby/hr), (d) uptime efficiency of the
assembly machine (%), and (e) cost per unit ($/unit).
