Question

1) How many more workers does the assembly line which failed to produce its target amount of vehicles require to meet its target.

2) if all staff were required to work on assembly A for cars approximately how many cars will be produced a day if staff from other lines are only required to work their normal daily hours. .

3)considering the hours required in producing a vehicle And assuming that over all production cost per hour is £240 which vehicle proves the most profitable for the company

Answer 1

1ans-A manufacturing tool, first made popular by Henry Ford in his manufacturing of automobiles. The principle of an assembly line is that each worker is assigned one very specific task, which he or she simply repeats, and then the process moves to the next worker who does his or her task, until the task is completedand the product is made. It is a way to mass producegoods quickly and efficiently do not have to be human; robotic workers can make up an assembly line as well.

USAGE EXAMPLES

• Some products can be made using an assembly line which will allow the process to be run much more smoothly.
• Working on an assembly line can be painstaking work, especially when you have to stand up all day and do repetitious work, also, it can be dangerous if a person does not stay focused and alert at all times.
• The factory used an assembly line to make it easier for the workers to produce its products, and doubled their profits in the past year.

2 ans-The answer is 430 but I just don't seem to understand how they get this. I know that the way to calculate this is by first working out the total man hours (by multiplying the number of workers for each product with their shift hours)then dividing by 12 hours as the car assembly line requires 12 hours for a car to be produced but in my calculation I always get 395.125 and just can't seem to get 430. I have shown my calculation below . Please could someone who gets 430 please show be their working

I did (117*7.5)+(76*9)+(198*13)+(56*6) +(45*6) = 4741.5
the number of hours required to produce a car is 12 hours so 4741.5/12=395.125! I just don't get where 430 comes into the question .

3 ans- The hours required in producing a vehicle and assuming that over all production cost per hour is£240 which vehicle proves it is the most profitable for the company .
