"A production line is to be designed to make 375 El-More dolls per day. Each doll requires 11 activities totaling 16 minutes of work. The factory operates 750 minutes per day. What is the required cycle time for this assembly line?"

Respuesta :

Answer: 2minutes

Explanation:

Cycle time is the time between the starting and completion of a process. The average time taken to complete in between the process is the cycle time.

Given

No of units produced = 375 El

No of operational hours = 750 minutes

Calculation of cycle time for this assembly line

The formula for cycle time = 1/Throughput rate.

Throughput rate  = (Units Produced or Tasks completed)/ Time

=375/750

=0.5

Throughput rate  =0.5

cycle time = 1/Throughput rate

=1/0.5

=2 minutes

The required cycle time for the assembly line is 2 minutes.

The cycle time is the time taken or the time difference between the starting time and the time taken to complete the process. it can be used to take future decisions for processing the similar task.

Computation:

Given,

Units produced =375 El

Operational hours =750 minutes

First, the throughout rate is computed:

The formula used is:

[tex]\begin{aligned}\text{Throughout Rate}&=\dfrac{\text{Units Produced }}{\text{Operational Hours}}\end{aligned}[/tex]

Substituting the values in the formula:

[tex]\begin{aligned}\text{Throughout Rate}&=\dfrac{375}{750}\\&=0.5\end{aligned}[/tex]

Now using the value of throughout rate for computing the cycle time:

[tex]\begin{aligned}\text{Cycle Time}&=\dfrac{1}{\text{Throughout Rate}}\\&=\dfrac{1}{0.5}\\&=2\;\text{minutes}\end{aligned}[/tex]

Thus, the cycle time is 2 minutes.
