Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
Operation time output is 450mins/day
Task is 17
Longest task = 2.4mins
Total task time =18mins
A. What are the minimum and maximum cycle times?
The minimum time cycle is the time to complete the longest time which is 2.4minutes
Minimum cycle time=2.4minutes
The maximum time cycle is the total time to complete the whole task which is 18minutes
Maximum cycle time=18minutes
B. What range of output is theoretically possible for the line?
The range of the output line ranges from the minimum cycle rate to the maximum cycle rate.
For minimum cycle rate
Output Rate=Output / minimum cycle time
Output Rate=450/2.4
Output Rate=187.5units
For maximum cycle rate
Output Rate=Output / maximum cycle time
Output Rate=450/18
Output Rate=25units
Therefore output ranges from 25 units to 187.5 units
C. What is the minimum number of worksheets needed if the maximum output rate is to be sought?
If we selected maximum output rate of 187.5units
Then the maximum output for this rate will be 187.5×18=3375minutes
Then, the minimum worksheets needed is 3375/450=7.5 which is not ideal, because we can have 7.5 worksheet
So the minimum worksheet needed is 8.
D. What cycle time will provide an output rate of 125 units per day?
Cycle time is given as
CT=Output time / output rate
CT= 450/125
CT= 3.6 minutes per cycle
E. What output potential will result if the cycle time is (1) 9 minutes? and (2) 15 minutes?
When Cycle time is 9mins
Then,
Output rate= Output time/cycle time
Output rate=450/9
Output rate= 50units
When Cycle time is 15mins
Then,
Output rate= Output time/cycle time
Output rate=450/15
Output rate= 30units
