A cafeteria line would be an example of a process focused layout.

"Balance delay" is another name for the percentage of idle time in a product layout.

Given the following data: Determine the percentage idle time.

Which term is most closely associated with cellular manufacturing?

Determine the minimum number of workstations needed for this situation: Operating time is 450 minutes per day. Desired output is 80 units per day. The sum of task times is 56 minutes.

Which of the following is not a characteristic of layout decisions in system design?

Process layouts feature departments or other functional groupings of personnel or equipment.

If departments X, Y, and Z were to be located in areas I, II, and III, respectively, what would be the total distance (in meters) loads would be moved each week?

If the company desires that output rate equal demand, what is the last task performed at the second workstation in the balance which uses the minimum number of workstations?

What is the minimum possible cycle time?

For output to equal projected demand, what is the minimum number of workstations needed?

What is the layout that will minimize the total distance loads will be moved each week?

Without regard to demand, what is the minimum possible cycle time (in seconds) for this situation?

For output to equal projected demand, what should be the actual cycle time for this production line?

An idle percentage of zero means a line is perfectly balanced.

Flexible manufacturing systems (FMS) bring the benefits of automation to continuous processes.

For eight hours of operating time per day and a desired output rate of 960 units per day, what balance (if any) will yield the minimum number of stations?

A production line is to be designed for a job with three tasks.The task times are 0.4 minutes, 1.2 minutes, and 0.5 minutes.The maximum cycle time in minutes is:
