Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Throughput time = Process time + Inspection time + Move time + Queue time
= 1.8 hours + 0.3 hours + 2.4 hours + 6.8 hours = 11.3 hours
MCE = Value-added time (Process time)÷ Throughput (manufacturing cycle)time
= 1.8 hours ÷ 11.3 hours = 0.16

= 1.8 hours + 0.3 hours + 2.4 hours + 6.8 hours = 11.3 hours
MCE = Value-added time (Process time)÷ Throughput (manufacturing cycle)time
= 1.8 hours ÷ 11.3 hours = 0.16
