production time available per day is 330 minutes. the schedule calls for the production of 30 units per day. each unit of the product requires 55 minutes of work. what is the theoretical minimum number of workstations?

Respuesta :

The theoretical minimum number of workstations that are present is equal to five workstations.

In order to calculate the number of workstations first we calculate the cycle time by diving the total time with the demand per day. The calculation is as follows

Cycle time = Total time ÷ Demand per day

Cycle time = 330 ÷ 30

Cycle time = 11 minutes

Therefore, 11 minutes is the cycle time for one unit.

Now we find the total number of workstations by dividing the time for one cycle unit with the cycle time that is

The theoretical number of stations could be = Time for one unit ÷ Cycle time

The theoretical number of stations could be = 55 ÷ 11

The theoretical number of stations could be = 5 workstations
