A manufacturer makes T-shirts in several processes. Information on the components of cycle time follow. Cutting and sewing processing 18 min. Wait time before moving 6 min. Moving shirts to ironing 8 min. Ironing T-shirts 8 min. Wait time before moving 4 min. Moving shirts to packaging 2 min. Packaging T-shirts 10 min. Quality inspection 12 min. Compute (a) value-added time, (b) inspection time, (c) move time, (d) wait time, and (e) cycle time.

(a) value-added time is 36minutes

(b) inspection time is 12 minutes

(c) move time is 10 minnutes

(d) wait time is 10 minutes

(e) cycle time is 58 minutes

Explanation:

The value added time is actually the processing time on the product.

Value added time = Cutting and sewing processing + Ironing T-shirts + Packaging T-shirts

Value added time = 18 min + 8 min + 10 min

Value added time = 36 minutes

(b)

Inspection time is the time incurred to inspect the quality of the product.

Incpection time = Quality inspection = 12 min

(c)

Move Time is the time incurred to move the item from one place to another

Move Time = Moving shirts to ironing + Moving shirts to packaging

Move Time = 8 min + 2 min

Move Time = 10 minutes

(d)

Wait time is the time incurred to wait for the next process.

Wait time =  Wait time before moving + Wait time before moving

Wait time = 6 min + 4 min

Wait time = 10 min

(e)

Cycle time is the time incurred to complete the manufacturing cycle by a product.

Cycle time = Value added time + Move Time + Inspection time

Cycle time = 36 minutes + 10 minutes + 12 minutes

Cycle time = 58 minutes
