Question

A machine has a cycle time of 3 minutes per piece. What is the machine's throughput in pieces per hour? Reminder: Throughput = (1 / cycle time) x 60 minutes/hour)

Answer 1

Answer: 20 pieces per hour

The machine's cycle time is 3 minutes per piece. To calculate its throughput in pieces per hour, we can use the formula:

Throughput = (1 / cycle time) x 60 minutes/hour

Throughput = (1 / 3) x 60 = 20 pieces/hour

Therefore, the machine's throughput is 20 pieces per hour.
