37.)
a.
Maximum Cycle Time =  (activity times)
Maximum Cycle Time = 60 minutes

Minimum Cycle Time = Longest Activity Time

Minimum Cycle Time = 2.4 minutes

b.
For Maximum Cycle Time:
Daily Output (Max) = Total Daily Time / Maximum Cycle Time
Daily Output (Max) = 480/ 60 minutes
Daily Output (Max) = 8 units/ day

For Minimum Cycle Time:

Daily Output (Min) = Total Daily Time / Minimum Cycle Time
Daily Output (Min) = 480/ 2.4 minutes
Daily Output (Min) = 200 units/ day

38.)
a. Production rate= Total Daily Time/ Cycle time
Production rate= 480 minutes / 4.5 minutes
Production rate= 106.67 units/day

b. Assembly line Efficiency = (Actual Production Rate/ Maximum production rate) x 100
Assembly line Efficiency = (106.67 units per day / 200 units per day) x 100
Assembly line Efficiency = 53.33 %
