What is the workstation cycle time (takt time)? C = Production time per day/Output per day =450 mins. x 60 seconds / 360 units per day = 27000 seconds/ 360 units C = 75 N=275/75=3.66 (4)
Balance this line using the largest number of following tasks. Use the longest task time as a secondary criterion.
Workstation (Takt=75) Task Task Time (in Seconds)
Station 1 A,C 60
Station 2 F 65
Station 3 B,E 50
Station 4 G,D 75
Station 5 H 25
What is the efficiency of your line balance? 275/(5)(75) = .73 or 73% Efficiency
Problem 10
An assembly line is to be designed to operate 7.5 hours per day and supply a steady demand of 300 units per day. Here are the tasks and their performance times.

What is the workstation cycle time? C = Production time per day/Output per day= 450 mins x 60 seconds =27000 seconds/300 units = C = 90
What is the theoretical minimum number of workstations? 410/90 N = 4.55 (5)
Assign tasks to workstations using the longest operating time.
What is the efficiency of your line balance? 410/(6)(90)=.759 or 76% Efficiency
Suppose demand increases by 10%. How would you react to this? Assume that you can operate only 7.5 hours per day.
