Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The delivery cycle time is the total time from when the order was placed to when it was received by the customer. In this case, the order was placed on 9/1 at 10:00 AM and was received by the customer on 9/2 at 7:54 PM. To calculate the delivery cycle time, we subtract the order placement time from the time the order was received:

(9/2 7:54 PM) - (9/1 10:00 AM) = 33.9 hours

Therefore, the delivery cycle time for this order was 33.9 hours.
