Question

A system has five workstations (A, B, C, D, and E) connected in sequence, with process times of 5, 10, 4, 9, and 8 seconds per unit each, respectively. Each workstation contains a single machine. Referring to Scenario 4 above, the throughput time of this process is:
A. 10 seconds
B. 7.1 seconds
C. 36 seconds
D. 9 seconds

Answer 1

Answer:

36 seconds

Explanation:

The computation of the throughput time of this process is shown below:

= 5 seconds + 10 seconds + 4 seconds + 9 seconds + 8 seconds

= 36 seconds

We simply added the five workstations process time i.e (A, B, C, D, and E) connected in sequence  so that the throughput time of this process could come

hence, the third option is correct
