Question

A production line is to be designed to make 500 El-More dolls per day. Each doll requires 11 activities totaling 16 minutes of work. The factory operates 1000 minutes per day. What is the required cycle time for this assembly line?
a. one-half minute.
b. one and one-half minutes.
c. two minutes.
d. 5,500 minutes.

Answer 1

Answer:

The required cycle time for this assembly line is 2 minutes. The rigtht answer is c.

Explanation:

Acording to the data, we have the following:

Daily operating time= factory operates 1000 minutes per day

Scheduled output=make 500 El-More dolls per day

Therefore, to calculate the required cycle time for this assembly line we have to use the following formula:

Cycle time = daily operating time divided by the scheduled output

                  = 1000 / 500 = 2 minutes

The required cycle time for this assembly line is 2 minutes.

Answer 2

Answer:

The required cycle time for this assembly line is 2 minutes.

Explanation: Given that

The factory operates for 1000 minutes/day

Daily operating time= factory operates 1000 minutes per day

Schedule output = 500 El

Hence, to calculate the required cycle time for the assembly line

Cycle time = daily operating time ÷ the output schedule.

1000 / 500 = 2 minutes
