Question #1

A production line is to be designed for a job with four tasks. The cycle times are 5.4 minutes, 2.8 minutes, 3.9 minutes, and 4.7 minutes. The raw process time is ______ and the bottleneck cycle time is ______ minutes.

Question #2

Consider the following three-station production line with a single product that must visit stations 1, 2, and 3 in sequence.

Station 1 has 3 identical machines with an average processing times of 5 minutes per job

Station 2 has 10 identical machines with an average processing time of 20 minutes per job.

Station 3 has 4 machines with average processing times of 3 minutes per job.

1. How long does it take for a product to go through the entire production line?
2. What is the cycle time of each station?
3. What is the bottleneck rate for the production line and what station is it?
4. Compute w₀ for production line?
