Question

QUESTION 6 An industrial food processor needs to design a product layout for a new line of frozen pizza. The company plans to use this new production line ten hours a day in order to meet projected demand of 1,000 pizzas per day. The following table describes the tasks involved in the production of a frozen pizza. Task Immediate Predecessors Task Duration (Seconds) none 10 B C,D F E Design this layout using the decision rule of Longest Processing Time (LPT). What is the cycle time of this assembly line? O a. 30 seconds O b. 36 seconds O c. 74 seconds O d. 8 seconds O e. 24 seconds

Answer 1

Production time per day = 10 hours

Output per day = 1000 pizzas

Cycle time = production time per day / output per day = 10 hours / 1000 pizzas = 0.01 hours or (0.01 × 3600) seconds = 36 seconds

So the answer is option b
