A ten-station in-line assembly machine has an ideal cycle time = 6 seconds. The base part is automatically loaded prior to the first station, and components are added at each of the stations. The fraction defect rete at each of the 10 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 $42.00/hr. Other costs are ignored. Determine: (a) average production rate of all assemblies (asb/hr). (b) yeild of good assemblies. 9c) average production rate of good product. (d) uptime efficiency of the assembly machine
