Christmas Express makes wreaths in batch sizes of 15. The cutting & assembly process takes 2 minutes per wreath and the decorating process time is 15 minutes per wreath. It takes 5 minutes to move the wreaths from the cutting & assembly process to the decorating process.

Compute the value-added, non-value-added, and the total lead time of the wreath process.

Value-added lead time:
Non-value-added lead time:
	Move time
	Within batch wait time
Total lead time

Compute the value-added ratio. Round to one decimal place.
%

Expert Solution

Value-added lead time [2 + 15]	17
Non-value-added lead time
Move time	5
Within batch wait time [17 x (15 wreaths - 1 wreath)]	238
Total lead time	260

.

Calculation of value-added ratio
Value added lead time (a)	17
Total lead time (b)	260
value-added ratio [(a ÷ b) x 100]	6.5%
