Question

A manufacturing company has a small production line dedicated to the production of a particular product. The line has four stations in serial. Inputs arrive at station 1 and the output from station 1 becomes the input to station 2. The output from station 2 is the input to station 3 and so on. The output from station 4 is the finished product. Station 1 can process 2,200 units per month, station 2 can process 2,300/month, station 3 can process 2,000/month, and station 4 can process 2,100/month.
a. What station sets the maximum possible output from this system?b. What is that maximum output number?

Answer 1

Answer:

HOPE THIS HELPS GOOD LUCK

Explanation:

Station 4, 2,100/month Problem 11-11 The longest process on this "assembly line" will govern the output.

Therefore, the maximum output from this line will be: Output = available time/cycle time = (40 hours per week)*(60 minutes per hour)/1.5 minutes per
