Question

A work cell is scheduled to build 120 digital light processor (dlp) assemblies each week. these assemblies are later installed into home theater projection systems. the work cell has 7.5 hours of productive work each day, six days per week. what is takt time for this cell? express your answer in minutes rounded to one decimal place.

Answer 1

Work cell produces 120 digital light processors in a week. We want to find the time spent on each processor in minutes. So for this first we will find the total time spent on 120 processors in a week. 

Number of productive hours in a day = 7.5
Working days per week = 6
So, number of productive hours per week = 6 x 7.5 = 45 hours

1 hour = 60 minute

So,number of productive minutes per week = 45 x 60 = 2700 minutes

120 processors are produced in time = 2700 minutes

1 processor is produced in time = 2700/120 minutes = 22.5 minutes

So, it takes 22.5 minutes to produce one digital light processor
