1. Work station: It is a location on the assembly line where specified work is performed. 2. Cycle time: It is the amount of average time a product spends at one work station Available time period Cycle time (CT) = Total no. of products/output 3. Task: The smallest grouping of work that can be assigned to a work station 4. Task time: Standard time to perform task. 5. Station time: Total standard time at a particular work station. x22 A typical example will clarify the procedure of line balancing. Ex: A company is setting an assembly line to produce 192 units per 8 hour shift. The information regarding work elements in terms of times and intermediate predecessors are given below: Time (Sec) Work element | A B D E F G H Immediate predecessor None A D.E.F B B 40 80 30 25 20 15 120 145 130 115 720 B A -- G CI Total 1. What is the desired cycle time? 2. What are the theoretical numbers of stations? 3. Use largest work element time rule to work out a solution on a precedence diagram. 4. What are efficiency and balance delay of the solution obtained? 1. Work station: It is a location on the assembly line where specified work is performed. 2.
