An output of 1,000 units per shift (10.00 hours) is desired for a new processing system. The system requires product to pass through four stations where the work content at each station is 30 seconds. What is the required cycle time for such a system?
A) Cycle time
B) How efficient is your system with the cycle time you calculated?
C) Station 3 changes and now requires 50 seconds to complete. What will need to be done to meet demand (assume only 10.00 hours are available)? What is the efficiency of the new system?
