Question

What cycle time would match capacity and demand if demand is 173 units a day, there are 2 shift(s) of 458 minutes each, and workers are given three 35 minute breaks during each shift, one of which is for lunch or dinner? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Cycle time 0 minutes per cycle

Answer 1

Answer:

so cycle time is 4.39 min

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

demand d = 173 units

shift s  = 2

time t1 = 485 min

break b = 3

break time t2 = 35 min

to find out

cycle time

solution

first we find total time available that is

time available = t1 × s - s × b × t2   ...................1

put here all these value which is given

time available = 485 × 2 - 2 × 3 × 35

time available = 760

so here cycle time is express as

cycle time = time available / demand   .......................2

put here value

cycle time = 760 / 173

so cycle time is 4.39 min
