Johnson Electronics manufactures a power supply used in a variety of electronics products, including printers, modems, and routers. The demand for the part is 7,900 units per week. The production of the power supply requires six different manufacturing operations, each in sequence and each having the following processing times. The net available time to work is 60 hours per week, using two shifts.
Operation | Processing Time (seconds) |
||
Operation 1 | 21 | ||
Operation 2 | 18 | ||
Operation 3 | 27 | ||
Operation 4 | 20 | ||
Operation 5 | 31 | ||
Operation 6 | 24 | ||
Required:
1. What is the Takt time, in seconds, for this product? (Round your final answer to the nearest whole number.)
2. Is the processing line properly balanced for this product?
Yes
No
Ans. 1 | Net available time to work in given in hours and we need to convert it | |||
into seconds. | ||||
Total manufacturing time = 60 * 60 * 60 | ||||
216,000 seconds | ||||
Takt time = Total manufacturing time / Units per week | ||||
216,000 / 7,900 | ||||
27.34 | seconds per unit | |||
Ans. 2 | No | |||
Since, the time taken in each operation activity is different so the | ||||
processing line is not properly balanced for this product. | ||||
