Question 1
Balancing a work cell is done
◦ as part of the process of building an efficient work cell.
◦ before the work cell equipment is sequenced.
◦ to minimize the total movement in a process layout.
◦ so that each assembly line workstation has exactly the same amount of work.
◦ before takt time is calculated.
Question 2
Takt time is
◦ the units required divided by workers required.
◦ the same thing as cycle time in a process layout.
◦ an important consideration in balancing an assembly line.
◦ a fictional time increment similar to a therblig.
◦ the total work time available divided by units required by the consumer.
