If a production process has a bottleneck cycle time of 48 minutes/item, what is the maximum daily capacity of the system, assuming the company operates two, 8-hour shifts? Enter an integer value.
A work cell is required to make 100 computerized diagnostic assemblies (for installation into hybrid automobiles) each day. The cell currently works an eight hour shift, of which seven hours is available for productive work. These assemblies require five operations, with times of 1.5, 1.8, 1.4, 1.5, and 1.9 minutes each. What is takt time for this cell? How many workers will be needed?
Clients are served in a process with two resources. The first resource has a capacity of 14 clients per hour.
The capacity of the second resource is 15 clients per hour. Demand for this process is 11 clients per hour.
Instruction: Round your answer to three decimal places.
What is the cycle time of this process (in minutes)?
