Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Throughput time is the total time taken from the start of the process until it is completed. From the given data, we can calculate the throughput time as the sum of the processing time (8 hours), waiting time (2 hours), inspection time (1.5 hours), and move time (2.4 hours). 
Therefore, the total throughput time for the order is: 
8 + 2 + 1.5 + 2.4 = 13.9 hours. 
Hence, option C is the correct choice.
