3- Consider the precedence relationship between the activities of an assembly line. Knowing that the cycle time (T) of the assembly line is 10, then: a) Show the activities are assigned to the work station? (Note that you must show which activities are assigned to which stations. Do not give a number of workstations) b) Calculate efficiency and smoothness indices.
Mention some reasons why method analysis are needed. How is method analysis linked to productivity improvements?
In a batch-production machining operation, the batch quantity = 65 parts. Part handling time each
cycle = 2.5 min, and machining time per part = 3.44 min. It takes 75 min to set up the machine for
production. Tool change time = 3.0 min. tool must be changed every 18 parts. Availability of the
machine tool = 98%, and the scrap rate = 0.
