Christmas Express makes wreaths in batch sizes of 14. The cutting & assembly process takes 6 minutes per wreath and the decorating process time is 10 minutes per wreath.

Group of answer choices
236 minutes
28 minutes
16 minutes
228 minutes
Total lead time = 16+12+208 =236 minutes
Value-Added Lead Time = Time Taken for Cutting and Assembly + Time Taken for Decoration
=(6 + 10)=16
Non-Value-Added Lead Time
Move Time =12
Within Batch Wait Time (16*(14-1)) =208
Total Lead Time =16+12+208 236minutes
Step-by-step explanation
The value added Leadtime = 16 minutes (cutting and assembly + decorating process time)
Non-value added lead time :
Move time = 12 minutes
within batch wait time = ( total time to perform operations) X ( batch size - 1)
within batch wait time = ( 6 + 10) * ( 14-1)
within batch wait time = 208 minutes
Total lead time = 16+12+208 =236 minutes
The Value added ratio = Value added lead time / Total lead time
Value added ratio = 16 / 236
Value added ratio = 6.78%
