You are designing a process for the assembly of a consumer electronics product, with a labor content of nine minutes. You are trying to determine whether to use a single machine-paced line with eight workers or eight separate single-worker cells. Each of the eight single-worker cells would perform exactly the same set of assembly tasks as the single line, using the same tools, technologies and equipment.
