FancyTrends Inc., a handbag manufacturing company, assembles handbags in an assembly line using 10 workstations. The target output for an 8 hour workday is 120 bags. The sum of the task times is 30 minutes/bag. The cycle time is 4 minutes/bag. The assembly-line efficiency is _____.

Respuesta :

Answer:

75%

Explanation:

Given that,

No. of workstations used = 10

Target output for an 8 hour workday = 120 bags

Sum of the task times = 30 minutes/bag

Cycle time = 4 minutes/bag

Assembly-line efficiency:

= Sum of the task times ÷ (Number of work stations × Cycle time)

= 30 ÷  (10 × 4 )

= 30 ÷ 40

= 0.75

= 75%

Therefore, The assembly-line efficiency is 75%.
