true
facility layout refers to the arrangement of machines processes departments and other areas within a facility
true
fixed position layouts are used for projects when the product cannot be easilt moved
true
for a given facility the best operating level equals the percent of capacity utlization that minimizes unit cost
true
the basic objective of the facility layout decision is to ensure a smooth flow of inventory through the system
true
with a product layout the purpose of line balancing is to equalize the amount of work at each station
true
a company hopes to achieve daily output of 200 units during 6 hours of producition time. assuming there is no lost time during the 6 hours of produciton, the desired cyclte time to achieve the targeted level of output is Cd=production time available/desired units of output

an assembly line consists of three workstations with each stations activity time as shown
12 minutes
an assembly line consists of 3 workstations with each stations activity time as shown. if cycle time is defined as the max amount of time a product is allowed to spend at each station, the cycle time for this line is WS1 5min - WS 2 3min - WS3 4 Min
