Question

Using the assembly-line balancing procedure, which of the following is the required cycle time in minutes per unit if the daily production time is 480 minutes and the required daily output is 50 units?
a- 480
b- 0.104
c- Cannot be determined from the information above
d- 50
e- 9.6

Answer 1

Answer:

e - 9.6

Explanation:

Since the daily production time is 480 minutes, and the daily output is 50 units. The required cycle time in minutes per unit can be determined by;

$\frac{minutes}{units}$

=  $\frac{480}{50}$

= 9.6 min/unit

This implies that it takes 9.6 minutes to produce a unit daily. Then 480 minutes to produces 50 units daily.
