A moving belt line is used for a product whose work content


Question: A moving belt line is used for a product whose work content time = 33.0 min. Production rate = 45 units/hr. The length of each station = 1.75 m, and manning level = 1.0. It is expected that the balance delay will be about 0.08 or slightly higher. Uptime reliability = 96%. Time lost for repositioning each cycle is 6 sec.

(a) Determine the number of stations needed on the line.

(b) If the tolerance time were 1.5 times the cycle time, determine the belt speed and spacing between parts for this line.
