- Question 5Factory scenario
Total garment SMV is 20 minutes, the line has 40 operators and works 8 hours. What is a realistic daily target at 60 per cent efficiency?
Practical exercise
Take any five-operation sequence, assign your own SMVs and balance it for 30 operators. State your bottleneck and target.
Factory case study
A line hits target on day four but loses 30 per cent on day one. List the causes you would test and the data you would collect.
