Overlap producing and consuming assemblers along a belt OK?
Posted: Tue Jun 16, 2020 9:16 pm
Hi!
Let's say I have a row of 20 assemblers producing product X on one side of the belt, and a row of 7 assemblers consuming product X on the other side of the belt (ratio 20:7). Do I have to place 1st consuming assembler *after* (downstream) of the last producing assembler to maintain the ratio? Or is it OK to place the 7th consuming assembler exactly at the same height as the 20th producing assember?
Thanks!
