An assembly line with 40 activities is balanced using 17 workstations and a finished product can be produced every 6.5 minutes. The total amount of time to complete all 40 activities is 80 minutes. The line will operate for 490 minutes per day. Round your answers for the following questions to one decimal place. What is the production rate in units per day

Maximum daily production rate= 6.125 units per day.

Minimum daily production rate= 75.38 units per day

Explanation:

Production rate is defined as the number of units of a product that is produced in a process in unit time.

In this instance we are to calculate the production rate per day.

It is given that a cycle consists of 40 activities. Completion time for 40 activities is 80 minutes.

Daily production rate = Total time of production/Time to complete one cycle

Maximum daily production rate= 490/80= 6.125 units per day.

Minimum daily production rate= 490/6.5= 75.38 units per day
