Line Balancing
Based on 90 Seconds
per station !!!
Line Balancing Based on 90 Seconds per station.
Calculations
T = Total time = 1011 sec
c = cycle time = 90 sec
TM = T / c = 11.23 12 Stations
Hence
Increase 2 stations and hire 4 workers
Line Balancing : 90 seconds
Comparison between both solutions
Efficiency
= T / Available = 1059 / 10*120 = 88.25 %
Comparison between both solutions
Efficiency
= T / Available = 1011 / 12*90 = 93.61 %
RABBIT CHASE STRATEGY
Both the alternatives suggested incorporate the use of the RABBIT CHASE
Seemingly the purpose of rabbit chase is to chase-down and catch a rabbit. Now
this rabbit is an elusive little devil it can hop randomly in any direction. You
can run at least as fast as the rabbit, maybe even faster.
In other words it is work procedure where each of the 2/3 work persons goes
through all the steps of the multi step process, performing the same tasks (staring
from the beginning to end). This is applicable within an assembly line or for part
Supply task.
