Assembly Line Balancing

Manufacturing Operations Management 1 Yoke Flange Layout Assignment, sight Line Balancing To decide which machines are to be scrapped marches maintaining enough capacitance to meet demand a proficiency called assembly row balancing is to be used. Here the superpower of each lay is calculated and compared with the required electrical capacity and the capacity of the other postal services to devise a final result that both(prenominal) meets requirements and minimises idle time.          To analyse the current set up a spreadsheet showing the capacity of each target was produced. To allow for irksome machinery and alimony time an efficiency rate and maintenance tolerance were deducted. station         weekly time         time allowance for maintenance         Number of machines         efficiency rate         Units per mc/hour         units produced 10          75         1         4         0.98         13         3771 20 (Ryder)         75         2         4         0.95         6         1664 20(Wickman)         75         2         4         0.98         6         1716 20 (total)                                                      3380 30 (new)         75         1         3         0.98         12         2610 30 (worn)         75         1         3         0.85         12         2264 30 (total)                                  Â Â Â              Â!  Â Â Â Â 4874 40         75         1         2         0.98         29         4206 50 (Detroit)         75         3         1         0.98         60         4233 50 (Cincinnati)         75         1         4         0.

Also an overtime allowance was added for station 60. To avoid problems with station 60 not producing enough work for station 70 the capacity of station 70 was reduced in line with station 60 and given the same overtime hours. In...
