level scheduling (heijunka)assume:• one assembly line produces a mix of models and option combinations• production plan may call for 1500 sunroofs in the coming month• assume 25 production days in the coming month, 15 hours of production each daywhat is the cycle time needed to achieve the required production of 1500 sunroofs next month?ops221 | operations and strategylean operations | 10answer received15numericuse: 0123456789 - . ^ esend answer

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total production minutes

Total hours = $25 \times 15 = 375$ hours
Total minutes = $375 \times 60 = 22500$ minutes

Step2: Compute cycle time per unit

Cycle time = $\frac{\text{Total Production Time}}{\text{Required Output}}$
Cycle time = $\frac{22500}{1500}$

Answer:

45 minutes per sunroof
