CASE 3: “Don’t Bother Me, I Can’t Cope”

LINE A:-

Precedence Diagram

[pic 1]

The total time requires to complete the entire process is 480s. With a cycle time of 60s, we need a minimum of 8 workers to complete the task. But considering the time breakup among different tasks and their precedence it is not possible to complete the process even with 8 workers in a straight assembly line. A minimum of 9 workers are necessary to complete the process but we are allowed to hire only one more worker as per Shantha’s instructions.

So for a straight assembly line, we consider 1h 10mins overtime for each worker since line A doesn’t have increased rejection rate with overtime. In this, the cycle time comes out to be 70s. This allows us to complete the entire process with just 7 workers.
