    The document describes the cycle times of 10 activities in a toy assembly line. It states that the demand is 240 toys per day, the assembly line works one 8.5-hour shift per day, and the takt time is 1.75 minutes. It calculates that the total process time is 8.92 minutes and the theoretical number of work stations needed is 6.

    Activity 1 : Inspection and flash removal of plastic moulded part 1. Cycle time 1.

    48
    minutes.
    Activity 2 : Inspection and flash removal of plastic moulded part 2. Cycle time 1.70
    minutes.
    Activity 3 : Assembly of part 1 and part 2. Cycle time 0.98 minutes.
    Activity 4 : Insertion of screw 1. Cycle time 0.48 minutes.
    Activity 5 : Insertion of screw 2. Cycle time 0.50 minutes.
    Activity 6 : Insertion of screw 3. Cycle time 0.48 minutes.
    Activity 7 : Cleaning. Cycle time 1 minutes.
    Activity 8 : Labelling. Cycle time 0.65 minutes.
    Activity 9 : Inspection. Cycle time 0.75 minutes.
    Activity 10 : Packing. Cycle time 0.9 minutes.
    Demand of the toy per day is 240 nos. And the assembly line works in one shift per
    day.
    And working time per shift is 420 minutes.
    Takt Time = 1.75 mins
    Total Time = 8.92 mins
    Theoretical No. of Work Station = Total Time / Takt Time = 5.1 = 6

    1. It takes an operator 1 min to service a machine and 0.1 min to walk to the
    next machine. Each machine runs automatically for 3 min, the operator earns
    $10.00/h and the machines cost $20.00/h to run. How many machines can
    the operator service? N = 3; TEC = $1.56/unit
    2. The machining time per piece is 0.164 h, and the machine loading time is
    0.038 h. With an operator rate of $12.80/h and a machine rate of $14/h,
    calculate the optimum number of machines for lowest cost per unit of
    output. N = 5; TEC = $3.35/piece
    3. At Dorben Company, a worker is assigned to operate several machines. Each
    of these machines is down at random times during the day. A work sampling
    study indicates that, on average, the machines operate unattended 60
    percent of the time. Operator attention time at irregular intervals averages
    40 percent. If the machine rate is $20/h and the operator rate is $12/h, what
    would be the most favorable number of machines (from an economic
    standpoint) that should be operated by one operator?
    4. The analyst in the Dorben Company wishes to assign a number of similar
    facilities to an operator, based on minimizing the cost per unit of output. A
    detailed study of the facilities reveals the following:
    a. Loading machine standard time 0.34 min
    b. Unloading machine standard time 0.26 min
    c. Walk time between two machines 0.06 min
    d. Operator rate $12.00/h
    e. Machine rate (both idle and working) $18.00/h
    f. Power feed time 1.48 min

    5. How many machines should be assigned to an operator for lowest-cost


    operations when
    a. Loading and unloading time on one machine is 1.41 min.
    b. Walking time to the next facility is 0.08 min.
    c. Machine time (power feed) is 4.34 min.
    d. Operator rate is $13.20/h.
    e. Machine rate is $18.00/h

    6. What proportion of machine time would be lost in operating four


    machines when each machine operates unattended 70 percent of the
    time and the operator attention time at irregular intervals averages 30
    percent? Is this the best arrangement for minimizing the proportion of
    machine time lost?
    7. The current operation consists of the following elements:
    a. Operator removes pressed unit (0.2 min).
    b. Operator walks to inspection area, checks for defects (0.1 min).
    c. Operator files rough edges (0.2 min).
    d. Operator places unit on conveyor for further processing and returns to
    press (0.1 min).
    e. Operator cleans press die element with compressed air (0.3 min).
    f. Operator sprays lubricant into die (0.1 min).
    g. Operator places sheet metal into press, pushes START (0.2 min).
    h. Press cycles automatically for 1.2 min.
    Given that the operator is paid $10/h and that presses cost $15/hr to run,
    find and draw the worker-machine chart for the lowest-cost operation. What
    is the production? What is the unit cost?
