Quantitative Analysis of
Assembly Systems
Example:
A ten-station in-line assembly machine has an ideal cycle time of 6 sec. The base part is
automatically loaded prior to the first station, and components are added at each of the
stations. The fraction defect rate at each of the ten stations is q = 0.01, and the
probability that a defect will jam is m = 0.5. When a jam occurs, the average downtime is
2 min. Cost to operate the assembly machine is Rs. 2500 /hr. Other costs areignored.
Determine:
(a) Average production rate of all assemblies
(b) Yield of good assemblies
(c) Average production rate of good products
(d) Uptime efficiency of the assembly machine, and
(e) Cost per unit

Quantitative Analysis of
Assembly Systems
Keypoints:
As fraction defect rate increases, meaning that component quality gets worse,
all five measures of performance suffer.
The effect of m is less obvious.
At low values of m (m = 0) for the same component quality level q, production
rate and machine efficiency are high but the yield of good product i.e.
proportion of acceptable products, is low.
Instead of interrupting the assembly machine operation and causing downtime,
all defective components pass through the assembly process to become part of
the final product.
At m = 1, all defective components are removed before they become part of the
product. Therefore yield i.e. proportion of acceptable products, is 100% but
removing the defects takes time, adversely affecting production rate, efficiency
and cost per unit.

Example:
A single-station assembly machine performs five work elements to assemble four
components to a base part. The elements are listed in the table below, together with the
fraction defect rate (q) and probability of a station jam (m) for each of the components
added (NA means Not Applicable).
Time to load the base part is 3 sec and time to unload the completed assembly is 4 sec,
giving a total load/unload time of Th = 7 sec. When a jam occurs, it takes an average of
1.5 min. to clear the jam and restart the machine. Determine:
(a) Production rate of all products
(b) Yield of good product
(c) Production rate of good products
(d) Uptime efficiency of the assembly machine

Quantitative Analysis of
Assembly Systems
Partial Automation:
~ Combination of automated and manual workstations
~ Reasons:
Automation is introduced gradually on an existing manual line
Certain manual operations are too difficult or too costly to automate
33
Quantitative Analysis of
Assembly Systems
Partial Automation:
Assumptions:
~ workstations perform either processing or assembly operations
~ processing and assembly times at automated stations are constant,
though not necessarily equal at all stations
~ synchronous transfer of parts
~ no internal buffer storage
~ upper-bound approach is applicable
~ station breakdowns occur only at automated stations
~ human adaptability
~ Tc remains constant over time
The ideal cycle time is determined with the bottleneck station (manual)
Because of random variation in any repetitive human activity Tc will show
certain degree of variation
