Table $7\mathrm{.}1$ Cycle times for

credit application process

Task Cycle time

Check completeness $1$ day

Check credit history $1$ day

Check income sources $3$ days

Assess application $3$ days

Make credit offer $1$ day

Notify rejection $2$ days

Exercise $7\mathrm{.}1$ Consider the process model given in Figure $3\mathrm{.}8($page $86).$ Calculate

the cycle time under the following assumptions:

$$ Each task in the process takes $1$ h on average.

$$ In $40\%$ of the cases the order contains only Amsterdam products.

$$ In $40\%$ of the cases the order contains only Hamburg products.

$$ In $20\%$ of the cases the order contains products from both warehouses.

Compare the process model in Figure $3\mathrm{.}8($page $86)$ with the one in Figure $3\mathrm{.}10$

$($page $88).$ Does this comparison give you an idea of how to calculate cycle times

for process models with OR gateways?
