Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Efficiency = ((Sum of assigned cycle times)/(Number of workstations x Largest assigned cycle time)) x 100%
Sum of assigned cycle times = 105 minutes
Number of workstations = 32
Largest assigned cycle time = 4 minutes

Efficiency = ((105)/(32x4)) x 100% = 82.03% ≈ 82% (rounded to the nearest whole number)
