Inspection time 1.6

The throughput time was:______
a. 16.1 hours
b. 27.7 hours
c. 19.6 hours
d. 8.1 hours

Answer 1

Answer:

a. 16.1 hours

Explanation:

Throughput time = Process Time + Queue Time + Move Time + Inspection Time

Throughput time = 2.7+ 3.8+8.0+1.6= 16.1 hours

Throughput time does not include wait time.

The throughput time is the time required in the manufacturing of a product. The manufacturing process includes the inspection, process time, move time, queue time.

The non value added time is not included in the throughput time. The non value added time is the time which is not used in the production .
