Concept:

Balance delay (BD) is the percentage of idle time on the assembly line and is given by:

\( \text{BD} = \frac{(n \cdot C - \sum t_i)}{n \cdot C} \times 100 \)

Where:

  • \( n = 5 \) (number of workers)
  • \( C = 80~\text{sec} \) (maximum task time)
  • \( \sum t_i = 80 + 60 + 70 + 70 + 70 = 350~\text{sec} \)

 

Calculation:

\( \text{BD} = \frac{(5 \cdot 80 - 350)}{5 \cdot 80} \times 100 = \frac{50}{400} \times 100 = 12.5\% \)
