The document describes an assembly process for chairs with 8 stations (A, B, C, J, K, L, X, Y, Z) where different parts are assembled. Each station is manned by one worker and there is no inventory held between stations, though space for one unit exists. The time in seconds to complete work at each station is provided. The homework questions ask to calculate the daily output, efficiency, and throughput time of the process given 8 hours of processing time per day.

Week 3 Homework Robert Nelson

Chapter 5: Problem 8
8. The following represents a process used to assemble a chair with an upholstered
seat. Stations A, B, and C, make the seat; stations J, K, and L assemble the chair
frame; station X is where the two subassemblies are brought together; and some
final tasks are completed in stations Y and Z. One worker is assigned to each of the
stations. Generally, there is no inventory kept anywhere in the system, although
there is room for one unit between each of the stations that might be used for a
brief amount of time.

Given the following amount of work in seconds required at each station:

a. What is the possible daily output of this process if 8 hours of processing time is
available each day?
b. Given your output rate in part a, what is the efficiency of the process?
c. What is the throughput time of the process?
