Chapter 2: Q9PE (page 198)

Question: What is the efficiency of an assembly line that has 25 workers and a cycle time of 45 seconds? Each unit produced on the line has 16 minutes of work that needs to be completed based on a time study completed by engineers at the factory.

Short Answer

Expert verified

85% is the efficiency.

Step by step solution

01

  Assembly line

It is a production method in which sections are placed sequentially to a nearly full arrangement as it moves from workstation to workstation until the finished product is completed is called the Assembly line.

02

  Calculation of efficiency

The formula is given below:

Efficiency = (total task time) / (Workstation cycle time x Number of workstation) x 100

Given,

Total Task time = 16 minutes

Workstation cycle time = 45 seconds

Number of workstations = 25

As a result,

= (16 x 60) / (25 x 45) x 100

= (960 / 1125) x 100

= 0.853 x 100

= 85.3.
