23. Designing Product Layouts

Objective
Balance the assembly line
Line balancing
tries to equalize the amount of work at each
workstation
Precedence requirements
physical restrictions on the order in which operations
are performed
Cycle time
maximum amount of time a product is allowed to
spend at each workstation
Copyright 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
7-23

24. Cycle Time Example

Cd =
Cd =
production time available
desired units of output
(8 hours x 60 minutes / hour)
(120 units)
Cd =
480
120
Copyright 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
= 4 minutes
7-24

25. Flow Time vs Cycle Time

Cycle time = max time spent at any station
Flow time = time to complete all stations

4 minutes

4 minutes
Flow time = 4 + 4 + 4 = 12 minutes
Cycle time = max (4, 4, 4) = 4 minutes

Copyright 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
7-26

27. Line Balancing Procedure

1. Draw and label a precedence diagram
2. Calculate desired cycle time required for the line
3. Calculate theoretical minimum number of
workstations
4. Group elements into workstations, recognizing cycle
time and precedence constraints
5. Calculate efficiency of the line
6. Determine if the theoretical minimum number of
workstations or an acceptable efficiency level has
been reached. If not, go back to step 4.

33. Hybrids Layouts

Cellular layouts
group dissimilar machines into work centers
(called cells) that process families of parts with
similar shapes or processing requirements
