At the store I work at the focus is on quality, and not quantity. The bikes we sell are utter garbage. < $100 for a 21-speed bike? lol? We know this, and take our time to make sure that each bike is "as good as it's gonna get." That said, my personal best for an 8-hour day was a 3 bike/hour average. +/- 24 bikes in one day for myself. Most were small 12" bikes that come packaged 2 to the box. The larger bikes (20"-26") can take 30-45min to build. The derailers on the cheaper bikes take the most time.
The average would be something like this:
26" bikes - ~9 / day
24" bikes - ~9 / day
20" bikes - ~11 / day
18" and under - ~16 / day
Those numbers are based on zero customer interruption throughout the day. Chances are that someone will return a bike, bring one in for some adjustments, or even require your assistance before purchasing a new bike. Also, Wal-Mart assemblers are not restricted to building bikes. They build furniture, store displays (playground equipment and the like), and any Site-to-Store item that has been ordered to be assembled. Each of these things affects the end result logirithmically.
If you're planning on buying an assembled bike from Wal-Mart I advise you to go over it once before you ride it; make sure everything's tight and well-adjusted.

man are you slow. I've been doing bicycles the last 6 1/2 years at Walmart and i can do quantity and quality at the same time and do triple your stats on my best days. i can do what you do when I'm sick.your managers must not push you or you do not have much business. my store at the holidays does 30 - 40 bike sales a day. we also build anything and everything plus do maintenance.i was doing assembly,building maintenance,janitorial,cart pushing,safety team,equipment trainer,equipment operator every day.

I am a walmart associate and former salary manager. I think the person above did a great job at answering how many bikes they can assemble. I see that you asked how many does walmart require them to though. That is a great question. To be honest there is nothing put in writing on how many bikes a person must assemble a day. The bikes assemblers often are required to put together furniture and may also be required if need be to help put together items in lawn/garden. Most stores will look at how many outs they have on the bicycle rack and just be on the assembler to make sure the outs are put together and stocked if the store has the bikes, and of course put together any items customers are wanting put together (they are buying, etc.), and evaluate them on that.
