Answer:
11.0 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
The times, recorded for a particular order are shown below:
Move time 2.7 hours
Wait time 26.4 hours
Queue time 6.4 hours
Process time 1.8 hours
Inspection time 0.1 hours
Throughput time is also known as cycle time/ manufacturing throughput time, it is the time needed to produce an item. It is the time taken for the item/product to be converted from a raw material into a product ready for use. The throughput time is the sum of the move time, queue time, process time and inspection time.
Throughput time = move time + queue time + process time + inspection time.
Throughput time = 2.7 hrs + 6.4 hrs + 1.8 hrs + 0.1 hrs = 11 hrs
