7. A transfer line with 34 stations has an ideal cycle time of 0.65 minutes, an average downtime of 8.6 minutes per line stop occurrence, and a station failure frequency of 0.02 for all stations After analysis, the system designer proposes to locate a storage buffor between stations 27 and 28 to improve linc efficiency. Determine: a) The current line efficiency and production rate marks/ b) The maximum possible line efficiency and production rate that would result from installing the proposed storage buffer. 17 marks)
