Question

Motors are assembled in a process with two resources. The first resource has a capacity of 2 motors per hour. The capacity of the second resource is 4.5 motors per hour. Demand for this process is 2.3 motors per hour.
Instruction: Round your answer to three decimal places.
What is the cycle time of this process (in minutes)? _______minutes

Answer 1

Answer: 26.1 minutes

Explanation:

The cycle time is calculated by the formula:

= Production time available / Desired output

Production time available = 1 hour as production is per hour.

1 hour = 60 minutes

Desired output is the demand per hour from the process

Cycle time = 60 / 2.3

= 26.1 minutes
