    The document describes a conveyor assembly line with 12 tasks that must be assigned to 4 workers. It provides the time required to complete each task and how the tasks are currently assigned to the workers. It then asks 6 questions about determining the capacity, direct labor content, and takt time of the line under different assumptions about how the tasks can be allocated to the workers.

    12 Tasks to 4 Workers
    Consider the following tasks that must be assigned to four workers on a conveyor
    paced assembly line (i.e., a machine paced line flow).Each worker must perform at
    least one task. There exists unlimited demand unless stated otherwise. Time to
    Complete Task (seconds) :

    Task1 : 30
    Task2: 25
    Task3: 15
    Task4: 20
    Task5: 15
    Task6: 20
    Task7: 50
    Task8: 15
    Task9: 20
    Task10: 25
    Task11: 15
    Task12: 20

    Current conveyor paced assembly line configuration assigns the workers in the
    following way:

    •Worker1:Tasks1,2,3
    •Worker2:Tasks4,5,6
    •Worker3:Tasks7,8,9
    •Worker4:Tasks10,11,12

    1. What is the capacity of the current line?


    2. What is the direct labor content?
    3. Now assume that the tasks can be reallocated to maximize capacity of the line, a
    worker can perform any adjacent operations and all tasks need to be done in
    their numerical order, what is the capacity of this line now?
    4. Now assume that the tasks can be reallocated to maximize capacity of the line,
    and the tasks can be performed in any order, what is the capacity now?
    5. Assume a demand rate of 20 units per minute. What would be the takt time
    of the process?
    6. Assume a demand rate of 20 units per minute. What would be the target man
    power?
