S Workstation 1 The first operator lays out the major components of a computer between two white lines on the conveyor The operator then prepares the cover for accepting the LCD screen by installing fasteners and securing a cable Workstation 2 The second operator performs two different tasks First the LCD screen is installed in the cover This task needs to be done after the cover is assembled task 1 A second independent task done by the operator is the preparation of the base so that the Main Printed Circuit Board M PCB can be installed Workstation 3 Here the M PCB is installed in the base After this is done the Central Processing Unit CPU and backup batteries are installed and tested Workstation 4 The Accupoint Pointing Device touchpad and wrist rest are installed the speaker and microphone is installed and the Auxiliary Printed Circuit Board A PCB is installed These are all independent tasks that can be done after the M PCB is installed Workstation 5 Here tasks are performed in a sequence First the keyboard is installed followed by the DVD and Hard Disk Drive HDD The battery pack is then installed followed by the memory card The computer is then powered up and a program started that loads software that can be used to test the computer Actually loading the software takes 281 seconds and this is done while the computer travels through positions 6 7 and 8 on the assembly line Computers that do not work are sent to a rework area where they are fixed Only about 1 percent of the computers fail to start and these are usually quickly repaired by the supporter Workstation 6 The video display and keyboard are tested in this workstation After assembly the computers are moved to a separate burn in area that is separate from the assembly line Here computers are put in racks for a 24 hour 25 C burn in of the circuit components After burn in the computer is tested again software is installed and the finished notebook computer is packaged and placed on pallets for shipment to Toshiba distribution centers around the world Tweaking the Initial Assembly Line Design From past experience Toshihiro has found that the initial assembly line design supplied by the engineers often needs to be tweaked Consider the following questions that Toshihiro is considering When the assembly line designed by the engineers is running at maximum capacity what is the efficiency of the line relative to its use of labor Assume that the supporter is not included in efficiency calculations Round your answer to 2 decimal places Efficiency
