Ventaz Corp manufactures small windows for back yard sheds. Historically, its demand has ranged from 30 to 50 windows per day with an average of 41. Alex is one of the production workers and he works eight hours a day, five days a week. Each order is one window and each window takes 55 minutes.

A. 6.86 minutes per window
B12.5minutes per window
C.5minutes per window
D. 250minutes per window

C. 5 minutes per window

Explanation:

Hello, I felt there was an error in the question, and I believe it should be "each window takes 5 minutes" and not "each window takes 55 minutes". I was able to retrieve the question elsewhere and have attached it for your perusal :)

Cycle Time is the time taken between two successive deliveries. Simply spoken, it is the time taken from when the order is initiated to when the order is successfully accomplished. It is important not to confuse cycle time with lead time. Lead time is the time between when an order is requested to when it is delivered. For example, in this case, the window may have been requested to be manufactured half hour before Alex started work on it. Thus, the lead time would be 35 minutes (30 minutes prior + 5 minutes it takes to complete). Cycle time on the other hand is simply 5 minutes on an order. It takes 5 minutes to complete a window and each order is only one window. Hence, cycle time is 5 minutes per window.

Hope this helps :)
