C)cycle time must be less than the flow time.
D)flow time must be less than the cycle time.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Line balance delay is the difference between the maximum cycle time in the line and the average cycle time of the line. It is a measure of how unbalanced the workload is among the stations in the line. By minimizing the line balance delay, we can balance the workload among the stations, reduce idle time, and minimize the overall flow time of the assembly line, thus maximizing its efficiency.
