What cycle time (in minutes) would match capacity and demand if demand is 100 units per day, there are two 8 hour shifts with 3 worker(s) each, and each worker gets two 18 minute breaks and one 40 lunch.

24.24 minutes

Explanation:

The computation of the cycle time is shown below:

As we know that

Cycle time is

= Time ÷ quantity demanded

where,

Time is

= Total time - break time

= (no of workers × no of shifts × hours per shift) - (no of workers × no of shifts × 2 × short shifts + lunch break)

= (3 × 2 × 8 × 60 minutes) - (3 ×2 × (2 × 18) + 40)

= 2,880  - 456

= 2,424 minutes

And, the demand is 100

Now the cycle time is

= 2,424 ÷ 100

= 24.24 minutes
