Question 1

In assembly line balancing, the theoretical minimum number of workstations is
◦ always (when a fraction) rounded upward to the next larger integer value.
◦ the ratio of the sum of all task times to cycle time.
◦ not always possible to reach when tasks are actually assigned to stations.
◦ all of the above.
◦ none of the above.

Question 2

In assembly line balancing, cycle time (the ratio of available production time to scheduled production) is the
◦ sum of all the task times divided by the maximum number of workstations.
◦ equivalent of the maximum task time among all tasks.
◦ inverse of the minimum number of workstations needed.
◦ maximum time that a product is allowed at each workstation.
◦ minimum time that a product is allowed at each workstation.
