Question

. Assuming the workers can shift to the production of the new TMP-20 thermostat while maintaining the same average efficiency, regardless of which assembly station they are at, what worker would you assign to each station to achieve the highest possible hourly output rate

Answer 1

hello your question is incomplete attached to the answer is the complete question

Answer : The worker with the highest efficiency will be stationed at the station with the highest processing time and the highest possible hourly output rate = 60 / 2.06 ≈ 29 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The maximum cycle time of the assembly line has to be reduced to get maximum output from the workers assigned to them

The assignment of workers to each station to achieve the highest possible hourly output rate is shown in the table attached below

from the table we can conclude that the maximum cycle time of the stations reduced from 2.3 mins to 2.06 mins

therefore the highest possible hourly output rate = 60 / 2.06 ≈ 29 units
