Detailed explanation-1: -Which typically results from the introduction of the assembly line into the production process? Efficiency is increased.
Detailed explanation-2: -Assembly lines, on the other hand, have workers (or machines) complete a specific task on the product as it continues along the production line rather than complete a series of tasks. This increases efficiency by maximizing the amount a worker could produce relative to the cost of labor.
Detailed explanation-3: -The assembly line sped up the manufacturing process dramatically. It allowed factories to churn out products at a remarkable rate, and also managed to reduce labor hours necessary to complete a product-benefiting many workers who used to spend 10 to 12 hours a day in the factory trying to meet quotas.
Detailed explanation-4: -The line efficiency formula is the number of hours when a high-volume pick-and-place machine is putting parts on the printed circuit board, divided by the number of hours where you are staffing the SMT assembly line. Put more simply, it is the placement time hours divided by the staffed time hours times 100.
