An assembly line with 17 tasks is to be balanced. The longest task is 2.4 minutes, and the totaltime for all tasks is 18 minutes. The line will operate for 450 minutes per day.a. What are the minimum and maximum cycle times?
Scenario C: Suppose you are given the process flowchart shown below. There are no buffers between tasks. Task 1 and 2 produce "Part A", and Task 3 and 4 produce "Part B"; Task 5 assembles each unit of a finished product by combining one unit of "Part A" with one unit of "Part B". Using this, answer the next 3 questions: Tpt Cap. = 10 units/hour Task 1 Tpt Cap. = 15 units/hour Task 3 Tpt Cap. = 5 units/hour Task 2 Tpt Cap. = 8 units/hour Task 4 Tpt Cap. = 20 units/hour Task 5 FGI
