Question

cycle Time Example Problem

An order for Order Quantity of a product is processed on work centers A and B. The setup time on A is Work Centre A - Setup Time, and run time is Work Centre A - Run Time Per Piece. The setup time on B is Work Centre B - Setup Time, and the run time is Work Centre B - Run Time Per Piece. Wait time between the two operations is Wait time after Work Center A (Minutes). The move time between A and B is Move Time from A to B. Wait time after operation B is Wait Time after Work Center B (Minutes), and the move time into stores is Move Time from B to Stores. There is no queue at either workstation. Calculate the total manufacturing lead time for the order.Use the data on the spreadsheet to make your calculation. Note: Provide all answers as whole numbers.

Work Centre B - Run Time Per Piece   5                             
Wait Time after Work Center B (Minutes)   209                             
Move Time from B to Stores   19                             
                                 
Order Quantity   116                             
TOTAL CYCLE TIME (Minutes)

Answer 1

total cycle time = process time+inspection time+move time+
wait time+ any other time during production.
In the case, the Total Cycle time=
total quantity = 116		In minutes	In minutes
work centre A	Setup time	32	32
	Run time	116*11	1276
wait time	after A	182	182
move time	A to B	11	11
work centre B	Set up time	39	39
	Run time	116*5	580
wait time	after B	209	209
move time	B to store	19	19
Total Cycle time =			2348
