Question

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 _____.a.65%b.70%c.75%d.80%

Answer 1

75%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Total number of work station = 10 workstation.

Target of 120 bags in 8 hours workday.

Sum of task times is 30 minutes/bag.

The cycle time is 4 minutes/bag.

Now, finding the assembly line of efficiency

Formula; Assembly line of efficiency=
`(Sum\ of\ task\ times)/(number\ of\ work\ station * cycle\ time)`

⇒ Assembly line of efficiency=
`(30)/(10* 4) = (3)/(4)`

Next, to know the assembly line of efficiency in percent, we will multiply by 100.

∴ Assembly line of efficiency=
`(3)/(4) * 100 = 75\%`

∴ The Assembly line of efficiency is 75%
