To maximize an assembly line's efficiency
A)the line's balance delay must be minimized.
B)the line's balance delay must be maximized.
C)the cycle time must be less than the flow time.
D)the flow time must be less than the cycle time.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The balance delay is the amount of time a worker spends idle while waiting for the next task. By minimizing the balance delay, the assembly line is operating at an optimal level where workers are always actively engaged in production, leading to maximum efficiency.
