Exam 9: Layout Strategies

________ are charges that manufacturers pay to get their products displayed.

A company is designing a product layout for a new product.It plans to use this production line eight hours a day in order to meet a schedule of 400 units per day.The tasks necessary to produce this product are detailed in the table below. a.Draw the network described in the table. b.Without regard to a production schedule,what is the minimum possible cycle time (in seconds)for this situation;what is the maximum? c.What is the required cycle time (in seconds)in order to meet the schedule? d.What is the theoretical minimum number of workstations needed to meet the schedule? e.Balance this line using longest processing time. f.What is the efficiency of the balance obtained in part e?

Identify the seven fundamental layout strategies.Describe the use of each one very briefly.

Which of the following is TRUE regarding fabrication lines?

A facility is trying to set up an assembly line,and has identified the various tasks,and their relationship to each other,as shown in the following table.Managers wish to produce 600 units per day,working two 8-hour shifts. (a)Draw a network diagram of precedence relationships. (b)Compute the required cycle time per unit in seconds. (c)Compute the minimum number of workstations required to produce 600 units per day. (d)Balance this line using the longest processing time heuristic. (e)What is the efficiency of the line obtained in part (d)?

Departments A,B,C,and D need to be assigned to four rooms 1,2,3,and 4.These rooms are arranged in a row,in that order,with 20 meters between each.The departmental work flows are contained in the table below. (a)What is the material handling total of assigning A-1,B-2,C-3,D-4? (b)What is the material handling total of assigning A-1,B-3,C-4,D-2?
