TRX company involved with purely manual assembly process is planning to produce 820 units of output per month. The standard time for the product is 115 min per unit. The company is currently employing 6 workers and having a working period of 8 hours per day with 24 days per month.Average salary for each worker is RM1850 per month. Evaluate the available data and propose the number of operators that must be arranged to perform the overtime work daily in order to meet the production output. The overtime is executed 3 hours every day over the 24 days period
Why is it more efficient for the work cells to prepare “modules” and deliver them to the assembly line thanit would be to produce the component (e.g., interior upholstery) on the line?
A process loop or machine cycle has these four elements. What parts of machine cycles are valued? Does replacing machine cycle components matter? Do more modules assist with switching?
These four steps make up what is called a machine cycle but is more often known as a process loop. When it comes to machine cycles, what factors do most people prioritise? Should I be concerned that I may have to replace machine cycle parts when they wear out? Is it feasible that doubling the number of modules available would make toggling between them easier?
The process of balancing an assembly line determines the ____ of the line. 1. Actual output 2. Efficiency 3. Utilization
Registration at Southern University has always been a time of emotions, commotions and lines. students must move among 4 stations to complete the process. last semester's registration is in fig. 9.20. 450 students moved from the paperwork station (A) to advising (B) and 550 students went directly from (A) to pick up class cards (C). preregistered graduate students went directly to pay (D). A to D is in a linear fashion and the distance from A to B, B to C and C to D is 30feet. a. calculate the movement cost or 'load x distance' of the layout b. provide an improved layout and provide its movement cost
