This document presents a line balancing problem to develop a solution with a cycle time of 5 minutes. It includes: 1) A precedence diagram showing the tasks and their relationships. 2) Calculating the theoretical minimum number of workstations as 3. 3) Balancing the line using the longest task time heuristic across 4 workstations, with idle time summed at 360 seconds and an efficiency of 70%.

a. Draw the precedence diagram for the set of tasks.

b. Calculate the theoretical minimum number of workstations.


Minimum number of workstations = (Sum of total task times) (Cycle time)
= (70+60+120+60+240+100+190) (605)
= 840 300
= 2.8 work station or 3 Work Station

c. Balance this line using the longest task time heuristic.

d. What tasks are assigned to which stations?


Station 1 = A, B, D, F
Station 2 = C
Station 3 = E
Station 4 = G

e. Does the solution have the minimum number of stations? Explain.


No, the solution uses 4 stations differ from the theoretical minimum number of workstation
which is 3 stations.

f. How much idle time is there, summed over all workstations?

Idle time: Station 1 (10 seconds), Station 2 (180 seconds), Station 3 (60 seconds), Station 4
(110 seconds)
Total sum of idle time = 10 + 180 + 60 + 110
= 360 seconds
Percentage of idle time = (360 (4 300)) 100%
= 30%

g. What is the efficiency of this line?


Line Efficiency = Time needed Time allocated
= 840 1200
= 70%
