Answer:
The efficiency of this line is 0.85 = 85%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Efficiency:
The efficiency is given by the following formula:
[tex]E = \frac{T_t}{tn}[/tex]
In which [tex]T_t[/tex] is the total task time, [tex]t[/tex] is the largest assigned cycle time and n is the number of workstations.
5 workstations
This means that [tex]n = 5[/tex]
The sum of the 21 task times is 85 minutes.
This means that [tex]T_t = 85[/tex]
The largest assigned cycle time is 20 minutes.
This means that [tex]n = 20[/tex]
What is the efficiency of this line?
[tex]E = \frac{T_t}{tn} = \frac{85}{20*5} = \frac{85}{100} = 0.85[/tex]
The efficiency of this line is 0.85 = 85%.
