Problem 2: Line Balancing

Your product has the following tasks and predecessors.

Task                       Predecessor                       Average Time (sec)

A                             none                                     40

B                             none                                     60

C                             B                                             30

D                             C                                             30

E                              A, D                                        30

F                              E                                              30

1- Use a takt time of 120 seconds and follow the “most following tasks” heuristic rule to assign these tasks to the work stations. Show which tasks are assigned to each workstation.

2- Compute the efficiency and percent idle time for the system.
