10.16 Major appliances are assembled on a production line at the rate of 30/hr. The products are moved along the line on work pallets (one product per pallet). At the final workstation, the finished products are removed from the pallets. The pallets are then removed from the line and delivered back to the front of the line for reuse. Automated guided vehicles are used to transport the pallets to the front of the line, a distance of 300 ft. Return trip distance (empty) to the end of the line is also 300 ft. Each AGV carries four pallets and travels ala speed of 150 ft/min (loaded or empty). The pallets form queues at each end of the line that neither the production line nor the AGVs are ever starved for pallets. Time required to load each pallet onto an AGV 12 sec; time to release a loaded AGV and move an empty AGV into position for loading at the end of the line = 10 sec. The same times apply
