The takt time for scalpel boxes is: a. 6.72 minutes b. 4.5 minutes c. 4.8 minutes d. 6.3 minutes

a. 6.72 minutes

Explanation:

There is total weekly demand for 1000 boxes. The production is assumed to be same as the weekly demand. The factory workers have two shifts for 5 days. The total hours which factory workers work every week is :

5 days * 7.5 hours * 2 shifts = 75 hours per week

1000 / 75 hours = 13.33

13.33 / 2 = 6.72 minutes
