What should you do?

You are a process engineer evaluating Lean vs. Discrete processing. You want to convert a Kanban item.

This item has the following Lean setup:

The setup uses a Lean schedule group with a throughput ratio = 2.

The process activity tied to production ow has the following runtime activity times: time = 3 min, per quantity = 1.

The work cell capacity has a model type of Throughput and an average throughput quantity of 60 per a capacity period of standard workday (8 hour day).

The throughput is 10 per hour.

You need to set up a Discrete operation to mirror the item’s production ow activity.

What should you do?
A . Create a route with a runtime = 6, a process quantity = 1, and the operation’s hours/time = 1.
B . Create a route with a runtime = 6, a process quantity = 1, and the operation’s hours/time = 0.0167 (e.g. 1 hour/60 minutes).
C . Create a route with a runtime = 1, a process quantity = 6, and the operation’s hours/time = 0.0167 (e.g. 1 hour/60 minutes).
D . Create a route with a runtime = 1, a process quantity = 1, and the operation’s hours/time = 0.0167 (e.g. 1 hour/60 minutes).
