(Solved) : Consider Computer Example Figure 9 15 Page 530 Book Production Computers Requires Twelve D Q30285992 . . .
Consider the Computer example in Figure 9- 15 on page 530 in the book. This is a production of computers that requires twelve distinct steps. Each task can be combined with any other tasks to reduce the number of stations The following table outlines the tasks: Task Immediate Predecessors None Time( minutes 12 6 1 (Drill Holes) 2 (Attach Motherboard) 3 (Mount Power Supply) 4 (Place CPU) 5 (Install GPU) 6 (Mount DVD) 7 (Mount Hard Drive) 8 (Switch Settings) 9 (Attach monitor) 10 (System Diagnosis) 11 (Seal casing) 12 (Pack for shipment) 12 3,4 6,9 8,10 6 What is the minimum cycle time that is possible? What is the minimum number of stations needed to achieve the minimum cvele time? Based on the ranked positional weight technique, how many stations are actually required for the cycle time indicated in the first part? . If 100 computers are required per day (eight hour workday), how many assembly lines are required based on a five-station balance and six-station balance? Discuss the trade-offs with each choice Show transcribed image text
