What is the process cycle efficiency of a 2-hour meeting if it took you 2 minutes to schedule the meeting in the online calendar tool and 8 minutes to write the agenda and e-mail it to participants?

The correct answer is C. 92%. Process Cycle Efficiency (PCE) = Value-Added Time / Total Cycle Time. The 2-hour (120-minute) meeting is the value-added time. The non-value-added (waste) time is 2 minutes (scheduling) + 8 minutes (agenda writing) = 10 minutes. Total Cycle Time = 120 + 10 = 130 minutes. PCE =…

Explanation

Process Cycle Efficiency (PCE) = Value-Added Time / Total Cycle Time. The 2-hour (120-minute) meeting is the value-added time. The non-value-added (waste) time is 2 minutes (scheduling) + 8 minutes (agenda writing) = 10 minutes. Total Cycle Time = 120 + 10 = 130 minutes. PCE = 120 / 130 ≈ 0.923 = 92%. This matches answer C.
