You are given a line balancing problem with the following diagram. The processing time is above each process. Using the ranked positional weight (RPW) heuristic calculate the number of workstations for a desired cycle time CTd = 11 and the line efficiency based on this heuristic. B 5 7 A D E F 4 6.
A flexible manufacturing cell consists of two machining workstations plus a load/unload station. The load/unload station is station 1 with one server (human worker).Station 2 consists of one CNC machining center. Station 3 has one CNC drill press. Thethree stations are connected by a part-handling system that has one work carrier. Themean transport time is 2.0 min. The FMC produces three parts, A, B, and C. The part-mixfractions and process routings for the three parts are presented in the table below. Theoperation frequency is fijk = 1.0 for all operations. Determine (a) maximum productionrate of the FMC, (b) corresponding production rates of each product, (c) utilization ofeach machine in the system, and (d) number of busy servers at each station. A spreadsheetcalculator is recommended for this problem.

The three-station work cell at Pullman Mfg., Inc. is illustrated in the figure below. It has two machines at station 1 in parallel (i.e., the product needs to go through only one of the two machines before proceeding to station 2). 30 min/unit Station 1 Machine A Station 2 Station 3 Station 1 3 min/unit 2 min/unit Machine B 30 min/unit a) The throughput time is minutes (enter your response as a whole number). b) The bottleneck time of this work cell is minutes per unit (enter your response as a whole number). c) is the bottleneck station d) If the firm operates 8 hours per day, 6 days per week, the weekly capacity of this work cell is units (enter your response as a whole number).
An articulated robot loads and unloads a CNC machine tool. The cell is scheduled to produce abatch of 300 parts. Setting up the cell for this part style takes 30 min, programming the robot takes75 min, and programming the CNC machine tool takes 55 min. For safety reasons, these threesetup activities must be done sequentially. The programmed machining cycle takes 3.75 min.Cutting tools wear out and must be periodically changed, which takes 6.0 min every 20 cycles andis performed by a human worker. At the end of each machining cycle, the robot reaches into themachine and removes the just-completed part, places it in a parts storage carousel, then reachesfor a starting work part from the same carousel and places it in the machine tool fixture. Thissequence of handling activities takes 45 sec. The storage carousel holds 25 parts. At the beginningof the production run, it is full of raw work parts. As each part is retrieved by the robot, the carouselindexes one position to present a new raw…
A planned manufacturing system will have the layout pictured in Figure P10.4 and will usean automated guided vehicle system to move parts between stations in the layout. All workparts are loaded into the system at station 1, moved to one of three processing stations(2, 3, or 4), and then brought back to station 1 for unloading. Once loaded onto its AGV, eachwork part stays onboard the vehicle throughout its time in the manufacturing system. Loadand unload times at station 1 are each 0.5 min. Processing times at the processing stations are6.5 min at station 2, 8.0 min at station 3, and 9.5 min at station 4. Vehicle speed = 50 m>min.Assume that the traffic factor = 1.0 and vehicle availability = 100%. (a) Construct thefrom-to chart for distances. (b) Determine the maximum hourly production rate for each ofthe three processing stations, assuming that 15 sec will be lost between successive vehiclesat each station; this is the time for the vehicle presently at the station to move out and…
27. You have the following compound machine. For S and ins a. What is the ideal mechanical advantage of this system? The inclined plane dimensions are 7.2 meters length and 1.8 meters height. What effort force is required to move the 600N create? In practice, you need to supply an effort force of 75 N to lift the crate. What is the efficiency? C. How could you redesign this compound d. machine so that the effort force needed was 50 N in practice? Assume the efficiency is your response from part C no matter what changes you make. Be specific with the changes you propose (if you add pulleys state how many, if you change the inclined plane dimensions state the new dimensions, etc.).
What are the three primary steps in creating a CNC program with the aid of a computer?
An order for 100 of a product is processed on work centers A and B. The setup time on A is 30 minutes, and run time is 10 minutes per piece. The setup time on B is 50 minutes, and the run time is 5 minutes per piece. Wait time between the two operations is 4 hours. The move time between A and B is 10 minutes. Wait time after operation B is 4 hours, and the move time into stores is 15 minutes. There is no queue at either workstation. If it is decided to overlap operations A and B by splitting the lot of 100 into two lots of 70 and 30. Wait time between A and B and between B and stores is eliminated. Setup on operation B can start before the first batch arrives. Calculate the manufacturing lead time for the whole order. Calculate the manufacturing lead time for the first patch.
