Using group 2

Conestoga Medical Devices (CMD) prides themselves on their operations management, specifically, their excellent line balancing abilities for all their product assembly lines. Assembling CMD's smart monitor for blood pressure consists of 11 indivisible tasks listed in the table below. Each task has an associated amount of time determined and established by the industrialization engineer to be the "reasonable standard" for assembly labour required to complete each task. The table also lists any/all of the task dependencies known as predecessors. Your group has been recruited by CMD's operations manager to determine the most optimal (balanced and efficient) assembly line for assembling their BP smart monitor by reviewing and answering the questions provided below. a) Draw an appropriate precedence diagram for the process details provided in the table (4 marks). b) Refer to the group data table provided on page 2 of this assignment. Find your group \# listed in the table. Considering your available time for production and your scheduled (required) number of units to assemble per day, determine the TAKT time for your assembly process (4 marks) c) Determine the theoretical minimum number of single-person workstations required for the assembly process (2 marks) d) Balance your assembly line with an appropriate number of workstations accounting for all tasks. Visually show how/where each task is accounted for within its chosen/assigned workstation (8 marks) e) Calculate your assembly line efficiency ( 2 marks) Group Data Table: Locate your group number in the table below and take note of the assigned production variables for which you will use to determine your answers for b) thru e) above. Failure to use the appropriate group data may result in grade deduction and/or investigation of academic misconduct
