    The theoretical minimum number of workstations are five workstations

    Explanation:

    Given the total time available per day = 480 minutes

    the cycle time which is the time required or spent to produce a unit can be obtained as;

    Cycle time = Total time / Demand per day

    Cycle time = 480 / 80 = 6 minutes

    hence 6 minutes is the cycle time for one unit.

    The theoretical number of stations can be calculated thus;

    Theoretical number of stations = Time for one unit / Cycle time

    = 30/6 = 5 workstations

    Therefore the theoretical minimum number of workstations are five workstations
