  4. Possible solutions to the process layout problem 6 Department problem has 6! or 720 possible solutions: ABC DEF I.E., there are 720 different arrangements of the 6 departments on the 6 locations on the grid. Facility Layout

  5. Possible solutions to the process layout problem (cont.) Problem complexity grows exponentially: Nbr. depts.Solutions 103,628,800 151.31 x 10^12 202.43 x 10^18 503.04 x 10^64 Facility Layout

  6. Solutions considered by Craft • N! solutions to problem with N depts. • Craft considers only N(N-1) pairs of exchanges, 2 starting with each dept. Facility Layout

  9. Synopsis of assembly line balancing 1. Set up a precedence table. 2. Compute required cycle time: C = (production time) / (required output in units) 3. Compute minimum cycle time: CMIN = time for longest task 4. Compute minimum number of stations: SMIN = (sum of all times) / C Facility Layout

  10. Synopsis of assembly line balancing (cont.) 5. Select rule by which tasks are assigned to work stations. Examples: (1) select tasks with longest operation times first or (2) select tasks with largest number of following tasks first 6. Assign tasks to the first work station until the sum of the task times are equal to the cycle time, or no other tasks are feasible. Repeat for stations 2, 3, … until tasks are assigned. 7. Evaluate the efficiency of the balance: E = (sum of all times) / (actual nbr. of stations x C) Facility Layout

Available production time is 8 hrs. less a 40 min. lunch break. Use the largest number of following tasks rule to select tasks for work stations. Break ties with the longest operation time.
