Question

Determine the minimum and maximum cycle times in seconds for a desired output of 500 units in a seven-hour day.

Answer 1

Complete question:

Please find the attached file for task table

Answer:

The minimum cycle time is 50 s

The maximum cycle time is 50.4 s

Explanation:

Given;

production time, t = 7 hours

desired output = demand, D = 500 units

The minimum cycle Time is given by;

Minimum cycle time = maximum task time, from the table the maximum task time is 50 seconds.

Thus, Minimum cycle time = 50 s

The maximum cycle Time is given by;

`CT = (Production \ time)/(D) \\\\CT = (7*3600 s)/(500 \ units) \\\\CT = 50.4 \ s`

Thus, Maximum cycle time = 50.4 s
