The Production rate of an assembly line is determined by its
Slowest station
Fastest station
Idle station
None of these
General principles of Design For Assembly includes
Use the fewest number of parts possible to reduce the amount of assembly required
Reduce the number of threaded fasteners required
Standardize fasteners
Reduce parts orientation difficulties
All of the above
Which is referred to as the bottleneck station
Lead time for the entire line
cycle time for the one station
cycle time for the entire line
Lead time for the one station
Maximum service time must be
No greater than the difference between the cycle time Tc and the repositioning time Tr
Greater than the difference between the cycle time Tc and the repositioning time Tr
Greater than the cycle time Tc and less than repositioning time Tr
Greater than the repositioning time Tr and less than cycle time Tc
Cycle time is not:
daily operating time divided by desired production
the maximum allowable time at each work station
how often items roll off the assembly line
the time required to complete a product from start to finish
An assembly line consists of 5 tasks with times of 12, 9, 8, 7, and 11 minutes. The cycle time for the line is 25 minutes. The theoretical minimum number of workstations for this situation is
1
2
3
4
5
The process of equalizing the amount of work at each workstation is called precedence diagramming.
True
False
For an assembly line if balance delay is high then efficiency will be low and vice versa.
True
False
Automation is preferred because it:
Offers lesser dependence on workers
Results in reduction in variable cost
Offers easy handling of repetitive work
All of the above
Balanced Assembly line effects in
Minimizes Wastes
Minimizes Idle time
Reduces Variation
Increases Effeciency
All the above
