A process has a cycle time of 10 minutes. The throughput time is 9 hours. If the throughput time is reduced to 5 hours without changing the cycle time, what is the change in inventory (as a percentage)? Response Feedback: Throughput rate is 6 units per hour (since cycle time is 10 mintues). Inventory = throughput rate * flow time A drop in inventory means that the change will be negative.
