Question

Relating to the previous example, there are four trucks being fueled and the drivers of the four trucks currently being served are waiting for their service to be completed. In OM terms, their wait time is called:

a) Move time

b) Setup time

c) Process time

d) Queue Time

Answer 1

C)Process Time

This is the time during which work is performed on the product itself, here the fueling is being carried out and is in the process or we can say it is the execution time of an organization.

Other options are not appropriate because move time is the time during which materials or work-in-process is moved from one place to another. Queue time is the wait that happens before the final processing and set up time is said as the time related to execution of a process.

The setup time, processing time, and teardown time together count for the execution time of operation.
