    Balance delay is the percentage of wasted time calculated as 100% - efficiency. on the line is 0.085 or 8.5%

    Explanation:

    Given details

    numbers of workstations (n) = 25

    manning level = 1.0

    work content time (Twc) = 29.5 min

    production rate = 40 units/hr

    proportion uptime = 96% = 0.96

    repositioning time = 9 sec.

    balance delay = ?

    Solution

    Cycle time (Tc) = 60 (0.96) / 40 = 1.44 min

    Ts = 1.44 - 0.15 = 1.29 min

    Line balance efficiency (Eb) = Twc / (n*Ts) = 29.5/25 (1.29) = 0.915

    Balance delay (d) is the percentage of wasted time calculated as 100% - efficiency.

    d = 1 - 0.915 = 0.085 = 8.5%
