Question

Work cell at Chris Ellis Commercial Laundry has a workstation with two​ machines, and each unit produced at the station needs to be processed by both of the machines.​ (The same unit cannot be worked on by both machines​ simultaneously.) Each machine has a production capacity of 5 units per hour. The throughput time of the work cell=nothing minutes per unit ​(enter your response as a whole​ number).

What is the process time of the work cell in minutes per unit?

Answer 1

24 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the process time of the work cell is shown below:

Throughput time is the time that is needed to produced a finished good product. It involves the manufacturing process time and the time for converting the raw material into a finished product

Therefore

Throughput time = [1 unit × (60 min ÷ 5 units)] × 2

= 24 minutes
