To solve the problem of finding the total throughput time for Fruchter Corporation, we need to sum the times for each activity involved in filling the order. Let’s list the times:
- Move time: 2.7 hours
- Wait time: 26.4 hours
- Queue time: 6.4 hours
- Process time: 1.8 hours
- Inspection time: 0.1 hour
The throughput time is the total time required to complete the order, which is the sum of all the individual times given. Let’s add these times together step-by-step:
1. Start with the move time:
2.7 hours
2. Add the wait time:
2.7 + 26.4 = 29.1 hours
3. Add the queue time:
29.1 + 6.4 = 35.5 hours
4. Add the process time:
35.5 + 1.8 = 37.3 hours
5. Finally, add the inspection time:
37.3 + 0.1 = 37.4 hours
Therefore, the total throughput time is:
37.4 hours
Thus, the correct answer is:
B) 37.4 hours
