Fruchter Corporation keeps careful track of the time required to fill orders. The times recorded for a particular order appear below:  The throughput time was:
A)4.6 hours 
B)32.8 hours 
C)11.0 hours 
D)37.4 hours

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The throughput time is the total time it takes from when an order is placed to when it is delivered to the customer. In this case, the time recorded for the order is 8.9 hours for processing and 2.1 hours for delivery. Therefore, the total throughput time is 8.9 + 2.1 = 11.0 hours. Option A, B, and D are incorrect as they are not the actual total throughput time for the order.
