Question

McPhee Company manufactures rugs in the cutting and assembly process. Rugs are manufactured in 70-rug batch sizes. The cutting time is 14 minutes per rug. The assembly time is 24 minutes per rug. It takes 18 minutes to move a batch of rugs from cutting to assembly. What is the value-added lead time?

Answer 1

Answer:38 min

Explanation:

Given

Cutting time
`t_1=14 min`

Assembly Line time
`t_2=24 min`

`t_3=18` to move a batch of rugs from cutting to assembly

Value-added refers to a process or phase in a system that turns raw materials or work in progress into much more desirable goods and services for downstream consumers.

thus value added time is
`t_1+t_2=14+24 =38 min`
