    Task 3 Solution

    Uploaded by

    Claude Eckel
    The document discusses balancing an assembly line to produce vacuum cleaners. It provides the process times for 17 tasks and calculates that Task 14 has the minimum time of 2 hours, defining the maximum production rate. It then determines that the line can produce 4 vacuum cleaners in 8 working hours. For a target of 16 vacuum cleaners per week, the takt time is calculated as 2.5 hours. With a total process time of 17.5 hours, the minimum number of stations is calculated as 7. Balancing the line over 9 stations with a 2.5 hour takt time results in 5 hours of idle time per cycle that could be used for maintenance, setups or downtime. The efficiency of this line is calculated

    Task 3.

    Assembly line balancing

    a) Draw the schematic diagram. Which process step defines the maximum rate of production?

    1 4 7 10

    0,6 0,8 1,1 0,7


    13 15

    1,1 1,0
    2 5 8 11 16 17

    1,4 1,3 1,2 1,3 0,7 0,7

    3 6 9 12 14

    0,7 1,1 0,9 0,9 2,0

    Task 14 is the minimum takt time time of the line and therefore, the maximum rate of
    production.

    b) Define the maximum number of vacuum cleaners which can be produced within 8 working
    hours at this assembly line.
    8 / 2 = 4 vacuum cleaners

    c) Define cycle time for production of 16 vacuum cleaners a week (40 hours).
    40 / 16 = 2,5 hours = takt time

    d) Define theoretical minimal number of workstations for production of 16 vacuum cleaners!

    17,5 / 2, 5 = 7 stations

    ti
    M min i
    C

    e) Is it possible to produce 20 vacuum cleaners a week? If so how many workstations do you


    need for production of 20 vacuum cleaners?

    40 / 2 = 20 units yes it is possible


    17,5 / 2 = 8,75 9 stations
    f) Balance the line in the minimum number of stations to produce 16 vacuum cleaners a week!

    Station Task Station time Idle time Takt time=2,5 h


    1 1,2 2.0 0.5
    2 4,5 2.1 0.4
    3 3,8 1.9 0.6
    4 7,6 2.2 0.3
    5 9,11 2.2 0.3
    6 10,13 1.8 0.7
    7 12,15 1.9 0.6
    8 14 2.0 0.5
    9 16,17 1.4 1.1
    5.0

    Task Number of followers


    17 0
    16 1
    15 2
    14 2
    13 3
    12 3
    11 4
    10 4
    9 4
    8 5
    7 5
    6 5
    5 6
    4 6
    3 6
    2 7
    1 7

    g) Define the idle time from (f) and suggest some ways for using those times.

    Idle time = 5.0 hours a cycle


    Ways of use: maintainance, setups, switch off,

    h) Define the efficiency of your assembly line from (f)

    E = 17,5 / (9*2,5) = 77,8%
