When balancing an assembly line, which of the following is not a way to reduce the longest task time below the required workstation cycle time? a. upgrade the equipment b. assign a roaming to support the line c. split the task between two workstations d. speed up the assembly line transfer mechanism e. use a more skilled worker.

D. Speed up the assembly line transfer mechanism

Explanation:

All of the options are logic and very intelligent ways to reduce the longest task time, but if you just speed up the assembly line transfer you will end up with two possible outcomes, frustrated workers cause they always have to be rushing up to finish their task and thus a lower quality in the product you are producing, or that the workers on that specific part of the assembly line definetely can´t perform the task and endu up not doing their job and you end up with incomplete products.
