You have just determined the actual number of workstations that will be used on an assembly line to be 8 using the assembly-line balancing procedure.The cycle time of the line is 10 minutes, and the sum of all that tasks required on the line is 60 minutes.Which of the following is the correct value for the resulting line's efficiency?
A)0.500
B)0.650
C)0.750
D)0.850
E)None of these

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Efficiency = (Sum of task times for each workstation) / ( (Number of workstations) x (Cycle time))

Sum of task times for each workstation = 60 minutes
Number of workstations = 8
Cycle time = 10 minutes

Therefore, efficiency = 60 / (8 x 10) = 0.75

Hence, the correct value for the resulting line's efficiency is 0.750, which corresponds to choice C.
