The Office Interiors Company has developed a new, modern office chair. Initial sales forecasts are for 64 chairs per day. The assembly operations will run for two eight hour shifts. The process engineer and operations manager are working together to balance the line to make the new chair as efficiently as possible. The process engineer suggests using the longest operating time rule while the operations manager suggests using the most followers rule to design the line. If there is a tie, use the other rule to break the tie.

Required:
Based on the processing information, which approach do you recommend? Why?

Respuesta :

Answer is given below

Explanation:

  • The long operating time rule should be preferred and in the case of a tie, most followers use the rule as a tie breaker.
  • Since we have a time limit and need to set the number of chairs per day, the time required at the station is more than the number of followers, because the latter is not specified or only he can control.
  • A total job of 50 chairs per day requires time.
