4. One of Canadian Air Conditioners Inc. _CAC) newer products the TMP-20 thermostat, was developed for a new model of air conditioners to be introduced in 2014. Since this product is a modified version of an earlier thermostat, the assembly process to produce the thermostat had to be redesigned Listed below are the station times in minutes to assemble the old thermostat and the new TMP-20 thermostat Station Old Thermostat TMP-20 1 2 3 4 1.7 1.8 2.5 2.4 1.9 1.7 1.8 2.2 2.3 2.1 A. What is the Cycle time of the TMP-20 line? B. What is the Efficiency of the TMP-20 line? C. If each worker is paid $21.00 per hour on the TMP-20 line, how much money is lost in a 10 hour shift due to balance delay? Currently the following workers are assigned to each station the old thermostat as follows: Worker Station Ave. Efficiency Thomas 102% Paul 119% 95% 100% Will 110% Jean Kris 2 5 3 D. What is the present nominal hourly production rate (in units hour) for the old thermostat? E. Assuming the workers can shift to the production of the new TMP-20 thermostat while maintaining the same average efficiency, regardless of which assembly station they are at, what worker would you assign to each station to achieve the highest possible hourly output rate? What level of hourly output can be achieved, given these new assignments? 4.
