Chapter 10, Problem 18P

(a)

Summary Introduction

Interpretation:

The cycle time for a dress making operation as an assembly line.

Concept Introduction:

To get the cycle time of each use the formula $\text{Cycle}\text{time}=\left(\text{Production}\text{time}\text{per}\text{day}\right)\text{/}\left(\text{Output}\text{per}\text{day}\right)$

(b)

Summary Introduction

Interpretation:

The task is the bottleneck.

Concept Introduction:

The tool which represents the specific process graphically is known as a precedence diagram.It also represents that the lead resistance is taking less time as compared to others.

(c)

Summary Introduction

Interpretation:

The maximum output.

Concept Introduction:

To get the cycle time of each use the formula $\text{Cycle}\text{time}=\left(\text{Production}\text{time}\text{per}\text{day}\right)\text{/}\left(\text{Output}\text{per}\text{day}\right)$

(d)

Summary Introduction

Interpretation:

The theoretical is minimum number of stations.

Concept Introduction:

The maximum numbers are stations to get use the formula $\text{Cycle}\text{time}=\left(\text{Production}\text{time}\text{per}\text{day}\right)\text{/}\left(\text{Output}\text{per}\text{day}\right)$

(e)

Summary Introduction

Interpretation:

The assigned task-specific workstations using the cycle time

Concept Introduction:

Longest task time rule:

• Add tasks to a workstation one at a time within the order of task precedence.
• If a choice must be made between two or more tasks, the one with the longest task time is added.

(f)

Summary Introduction

Interpretation:

The efficiency and balance delay of the line.

Concept Introduction:

The first item on the list is for one to create a precedence diagram for the process at hand. This is a graphical tool that maps out a specific process. Precedence diagrams are ones also that can show paths of lead resistance which one be done in less time comparatively speaking.
