Assignment:
A recirculating conveyor has a total length of 700 ft and a speed of 90 ft/min. Spacing of part carriers = 14 ft. Each carrier can hold one part. Automatic machines load and unload the conveyor at the load and unload stations. Time to load a part is 0 10 min, and unload time is the same. To satisfy production requirements, the loading and unloading rates are each 2.0 parts/min. Evaluate the conveyor system design with respect to the three principles developed by Kwo.
Provide complete and step by step solution for the question and show calculations and use formulas.
