One batch of 25 units requires the following processing times per unit: move time for raw materials to cutting department, 6 minutes; cutting department, 4 minutes; move time to sewing department, 3 minutes; sewing department, 10 minutes; move time to packaging department, 2 minutes; and packaging department, 4 minutes. a. how much of the time spent to produce the units is value-added time? b. determine the total within-batch wait time. c. calculate the total lead time for the batch.

(a) 450 minutes

(b) 275 minutes

(c) 725 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Number of units in one batch = 25

move time for raw materials to Cutting Department per unit =6 minutes

Time taken by Cutting Department per unit = 4 minutes

move time to Sewing Department per unit = 3 minutes

Time taken by sewing Department per unit = 10 minutes

move time to Packaging Department per unit = 2 minutes

time taken by packaging Department per unit = 4 minutes

(a) value added time for one unit = Time taken by Cutting Department per unit

                                                    +Time taken by sewing Department per unit

                                                +time taken by packaging Department per unit

                                                = (4 + 10 + 4) minutes

                                                 = 18 minutes

Value added time for 25 units = 18 x 25

                                                  = 450 minutes

(b) within batch wait time per unit =move time for raw materials to Cutting                                                                                department per unit +move time to Sewing Department per unit +move time to Packaging Department per unit

                                                       = (6+3+2) minutes

                                                        = 11 minutes

Total within batch wait time = 11 x 25

                                               = 275 minutes

(c) total lead time for batch = Value added time for 25 units

                                                  +Total within batch wait time

                                              = 450+ 275

                                               = 725 minutes

my guess is
