Problem:
1. The Harvey motorcycle company produces three models: the Tiger, a sure-footed dire bike; the LX2000, a nimble café racer; and the Golden, a large interstate tourer. This month's master production schedule calls for the production of 54 Goldens, 42 LX2000s, and 30 Tigers per seven-hour shift.
a. What average cycle time is required for the assembly line to achieve the production quota in seven hours?
b. If mixed-model scheduled is used, how many of each model will be produced before the production cycle is repeated?
c. Determine a satisfactory production sequence for the ultimate in small-lot production: one unit.
d. The design of a new model, the Cheetah includes features from the Tiger, LX2000, and Golden models.
