Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The manufacturing cycle time is the total time required to complete an order, from the time the order is received until the time the order is shipped. In this case, the manufacturing cycle time is 1.5 hours (processing time) + 0.2 hours (inspection time) + 2.8 hours (moving time) + 7.2 hours (storing time) = 12.1 hours.
