Fruchter Corporation keeps careful track of the time required to fill orders. The times, recorded for a particular order are shown. What was the throughput time?

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
