Shop's effective hourly capacity for assembly/repair Understanding the steps needed in each type of work and how long it takes to perform them is necessary to assess the shop's effective hourly capacity for assembly and repair. Let's break down the calculations for assembly and repair: Assembly Process: There are three primary steps in the assembling process: Frame/Wheel, Top Mount, d. The following is the average time for each stage: Wheel/Frame Time: 12 minutes Top Mount: o 10 minutes for men's bikes o 8 minutes for women's bikes o 6 minutes for kid's bikes Adjustment: 5 minutes The stage with the longest average duration, known as the bottleneck stage, must be taken into account when determining the effective hourly capacity for assembly. The Frame/Wheel stage in this instance takes the longest12 minutes. To calculate the capacity per labor hour, we use the formula: Capacity per hour = 60 minutes / Time per unit Hourly capacity for the Frame/Wheel = 60 minutes / 12 minutes per unit = 5 units The frame/wheel stage is completed by all bikes, hence the effective hourly capacity for assembly is 5 units per hour. Repair Process: There are four steps in the repair process: disassembly, repairability check, repair, and reinstallation. The following is the average time for each stage: Disassemble: 10 minutes to disassemble Reparability Check: Without replaced parts: 10 minutes With replaced parts: 5 minutes Reinstall: 15 minutes We must determine the bottlene
