Allows you to calculate the maximum amount
to produce various products for
so that the process operates with the least
dead time and the highest efficiency.
Determine how many machines in
each season must be used for
meet the adjusted production
demanded of the products.
E1 E2 E3
mp A tA1 tA2 tA3 A
mp B tB1 tB2 tB3 pt B
We consider:
XA= Adjusted production of product A
XB = Adjusted production of product B
PAi = Maximum production of product A
in machine (i)
PBi= Maximum production of product B
in machine (i).
Then: XA + XB = n i
ni= Número de máquinas estación (i)

Product A Product B
from PA to PB
E1 10' 48 9' 53.3
E2 12’ 40 10’ 48
E3 6’ 80 8’ 60
PA1 = tb/tA1 = 480min per day/ 10= 480/10=48 units / day
PA2 = tb/tA2 = 480/12 = 40 units/day
PA3 = tb/tA3 = 480/6 = 80 units/day
PA and PB are maximum outputs
Assume that it is necessary to balance the
line to satisfy productions
adjusted (demand) following:
XA = 120 units/day
XB = 80 units/day
Substituting the values of P and X in:
120/48 + 80/53.3 = n1
120/40 + 80/48 = n2
120/80 + 80/60 = n3
Resolving:
n1 = 4.01 = 4 machines
n2 = 4.66 = 5 machines
n3 = 2.83 = 3 machines
These values constitute the solution to
problem

información de los tiempos de dos modelos que
produce
Machine Mod A Mod B
Tornado 15 minutes 12'
Drill 8’ 16'
Brush 16' 18'
Grinder 18' 20'
It is desired to know the number of machines
necessary for a redistribution if the
demand is:
Model A: 120 units/day
Model B: 85 units/day.
2. Calculate the respective indicators of the line
balanced.
