The objective of layout strategy is to develop an effective and efficient layout that will meet the firm's competitive requirements.

Mathematically,takt time is:

An assembly line consists of 158 tasks grouped into 32 workstations.The sum of all task times is 105 minutes.The largest assigned cycle time is 4 minutes.What is the efficiency of this line?

A work cell is required to make 200 computerized diagnostic assemblies (for installation into hybrid automobiles)each day.The cell currently works an eight hour shift,of which seven hours is available for productive work.What is takt time for this cell?

A product requires 24 separate tasks,and the sum of those task times is 14 minutes.If the cycle time is 2 minutes,then at least 12 workstations will be needed.

Explain how a load-distance model helps solve problems in process layout.

Which of the following is NOT an information requirement for solving a load-distance problem to design a process layout?
