Answer :

The company should have 4 workstations.

What is task or process time?

Process lag time (PLT), often known as Little's Law, is the amount of time it takes an item to complete a process from the moment it enters until it exits. The processing time at each workstation is added to any waiting or queue time that may have occurred.

Total units to be produced in a day = 400

Time taken to produce 1 unit = 6 minutes

Total minutes in a day = 720

Break time spread in a day = 60

Net minutes in a day for production = 660

One unit/day = net minutes for production/ Total time taken to produce 1 unit

= 660/6 = 110

Therefore one workstation can produce 110 units in day

So to complete 400 units in a day, we need 3.6, i.e. 4 workstations
