Question

Cycle Time and Velocity In the first quarter of operations, a manufacturing cell produced 85,000 stereo speakers, using 20,000 production hours. In the second quarter, the cycle time was 10 minutes per unit with the same number of production hours as were used in the first quarter. Required: 1. Compute the velocity (per hour) for the first quarter. If required, round your answer to two decimal places. fill in the blank 1 units per hour 2. Compute the cycle time for the first quarter (minutes per unit produced). If required, round your answer to two decimal places. fill in the blank 2 minutes per unit 3. How many units were produced in the second quarter

Answer 1

1. Velocity per hour= 4.35 units per hour

2. Cycle time=0.24

3. Units produced= 120,000 units

Step-by-step explanation:

1.Computation for the velocity (per hour) for the first quarter.

Velocity per hour=85,000 units / 20,000 hour

Velocity per hour= 4.35 units per hour

2.Compution for the cycle time for the Frst quarter

Cycle time =20,000 hour/85,000 units

Cycle time=0.24

3. Calculation for How many units were produced in the second quarter

Units produced =60 minutes / 10 minutes per units * 20,000 Hours

Units produced= 120,000 units
