This line consists of single-machine stations and is almost balanced (i. e. station rates are nearly equal). A manufacturing engineer has estimated the bottleneck rate of the line to be 1,000 fans per 20-hour day and the raw process time to be 50 minutes. The line has averaged 850 fans per 20-hour day, and the cycle time has averaged 2.8 hours. What would you estimate the WIP level to be

    Explanation:

    The computation of the estimated WIP is shown below:

    = Average fans per hour * average hours

    where,

    Average fans per hour is

    = 850 fans : 20 hours

    = 42.5 fans

    And, the average hours is 2.8

    So, the estimated WIP is

    = 42.5 * 2.8

    = 119 fans

    We assume we have to find out the average estimated WIP level
