Question

It is calculated that the workstation cycle time is 80 seconds. The theoretical minimum number of workstations needed is 4 stations. Balance the line (assign tasks to sequential workstations) using the largest number of the following tasks, Use the longest task time as a secondary criterion. F-H D C-G A-B-E

Answer 1

the correct balancing plan is as follows:

Station 1 - A, B, E

Station 2 - D

Station 3 - C, G

Station 4 - F, H

Step-by-step explanation:

See table in attached file

Note: D is preferred over C because of higher processing time

** G is preferred over F because of higher processing time
