The following data pertain to operations at quick incorporated:

throughput time 4 hours
delivery cycle time 8 hours
process time 1 hour
queue time 2 hours

the combined inspection and move time for this operation would be:

a. 4 hours
b. 1 hour
c. 2 hours
d. cannot be determined from information provided

Option (b) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Throughput time = 4 hours

Delivery cycle time = 8 hours

Process time = 1 hour

Queue time = 2 hours

Now,

Lets assume that inspection time be x.

Throughput time = inspection time + Process time + Queue time

4 hours = x + 1 hour + 2 hours

x = 4 hours - 1 hour - 2 hours

x = 1 hour

Hence,

Inspection time = 1 hour

Therefore, the combined inspection and move time for this operation would be 1 hour.
