- Mr. Aris Benn manages an assembly line that produces a piece of equipment that is used to clean floors. The process to produce this piece of equipment consists of 10 steps. Determine what other information is needed in order to balance this assembly line. Also, set up a numerical example of the line balancing problem at hand. Using this example, demonstrate how to balance the line and how to calculate its efficiency.SITUATION: A company is about to begin production of a new product. The manager of the department that will produce one of the components for the product wants to know how often the machine used to produce the item will be available for other work. The machine will produce the item at a rate of 200 units a day. Eighty units will be used daily in assembling the final product. Assembly will take place five days a week, 50 weeks a year. The manager estimates that it will take almost a full day to get the machine ready for a production run, at the cost of $300. Inventory holding costs will be $10 a year. QUESTION: Suppose the manager decides to increase the run size of the new product. How many additional units would be needed just to accommodate the other job? How much will that increase the total annual cost?Dr. Lori Baker, operations manager at Nesa Electronics, prides herself on excellent assembly line balancing. She has been told that the firm needs to complete 96 instruments per 24-hour day.

If the cycle time after allowances is given as 12 minutes, what is the daily (24-hour) production rate? With a 12-minute cycle time, what is the theoretical minimum number of stations with which the line can be balanced? Assign task to workstations. Use the following decision rules (heuristics): longest task first, break ties by assigning the task with the most followers. What are the efficiency and the balance delay of the assembly line?

A product needs to go through only one of the three assembly operations (the operations are in parallel).a) Which operation is the bottleneck?b) What is the bottleneck time?c) What is the throughput time of the overall system?d) If the firm operates 8 hours per day, 20 days per month, whatis the monthly capacity of the manufacturing process?3. SCM301 Warehouse takes orders from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. The manager wants to analyze the process and has provided the following process flow diagram. There are three steps required to ship a customer order. The first step is to take the order from a customer. The second step is to pick the order for the customer, and then they have to pack the order to ready it for shipping. The order-taking step works at a maximum rate of 100 customer orders per hour. Order picking works at a maximum of 80 per hour, and packing works at 60 per hour. Customers, Take Orders 100 Customers/ hour Customer Orders, Pick Orders 80 Customers/ hour Picked Orders Pack Orders 60 Customers/ hour Wait for Shipper SCM301 Warehouse wants to figure out the following: A. What is the current maximum output of the process assuming that no one works overtime? (For your answers to these questions, assume that everyone can start working at 7 a.m.) B.
