Suppose the part in previous Problem 2.5 is made in very large quantities on a production line in which an automated work handling system is used to transfer parts between matches. Transfer time between stations = 15s.The total time requited to set up the entire line is 150hr. Assume that the operation times at the individual machines remain the same. Determine:
(a) manufacturing lead time for a pari coming off the line,
(b) production rate for operation 3,
(c) theoretical production rate for the entire production line?
Problem 2.5
A certain part is routed through six machines in a batch production plant. The setup and operation time' for each machine are given in the table below. The batch size is 100 and the average non operation time per machine is 12 hr. Determine:
(a) Manufacturing lead time and
(b) Production rate for operation 3.
