Answer:
average hourly production = 40 units
cycle time = 1.425 min
ideal minimum number of work = 16 worker
Explanation:
given data
annual demand for product = 80,000 units
Work content time = 22.7 min
work for week = 50 wk/yr
no of hr/week = 40 hr/wk
efficiency = 95% = 0.95
to find out
average hourly production rate and cycle time and ideal minimum number of worker
solution
we get here average hourly production rate that is express as
average hourly production = [tex]\frac{Da}{50H}[/tex] ........1
average hourly production = [tex]\frac{80000}{50*40}[/tex]
average hourly production = 40 units
and
cycle time is
cycle time = [tex]\frac{60*efficiency}{average\ hourly\ production}[/tex]
cycle time = [tex]\frac{60*0.95}{40}[/tex]
cycle time = 1.425 min
and
ideal minimum number of work is
W = minimum integer ≥ [tex]\frac{time}{cycle\ time}[/tex]
W = minimum integer ≥ [tex]\frac{22.7}{1.425}[/tex]
ideal minimum number of work = 15.93 = 16 workers
