Required Cycle Time
Production time in one day =9hrs= 540 min
No of T-shirts to be produced in a day= 558







Theoretical Minimum Number of Workstations

Theoretical minimum number of work stations required is 5 but as per the operation precedence and
requirement we will have to use 6 workstations as described below in table 2.
Table 2. Work Stations



Idle time of work stations:
Station 1=0.02min, Station 2=0.04min, Station 3=0.49min, Station 4=0.37min, Station 5=0.02min,
Station 6=0.64min.

Bottle Neck Work Station: Station 1 and 5 are bottle neck stations as they have the least idle time.
