Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Throughput time = Process time + Inspection time + Move time + Queue time
= 0.5 hours + 0.2 hours + 3.6 hours + 5.1 hours = 9.4 hours
Delivery cycle time = Wait time + Throughput time
= 13.3 hours + 9.4 hours = 22.7 hours
= 0.5 hours + 0.2 hours + 3.6 hours + 5.1 hours = 9.4 hours
Delivery cycle time = Wait time + Throughput time
= 13.3 hours + 9.4 hours = 22.7 hours
