Question

g Required: 1. Compute the throughput time. (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.) 2. Compute the manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE) for the quarter. (Round your percentage answer to nearest whole percent.) 3. What percentage of the throughput time was spent in non–value-added activities? (Round your percentage answer to nearest whole percent.) 4. Compute the delivery cycle time. (Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 1 decimal place.) 5. If by using Lean Production all queue time during production is eliminated, what will be the new MCE? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your percentage answer to 1 decimal place.)

Answer 1

Answer:

Note The full question is attached as picture below

1. Throughput time = Process + Inspection + Move + Move time

Throughput time = 2.7 + 0.3 + 1.0 + 5.0

Throughput time = 9.0 days

2. Manufacturing cycle efficiency = Value added time / Throughput time

Manufacturing cycle efficiency = 2.7 / 9.0

Manufacturing cycle efficiency = 0.30

Manufacturing cycle efficiency = 30%

3. Non value added throughput time = 100% - 30%

Non value added throughput time = 70%

4. Delivery cycle time = Wait time + Throughput time

Delivery cycle time = 14.0 + 9.0

Delivery cycle time = 23 days

5. New Manufacturing cycle efficiency = Value added time / Throughput time

New Manufacturing cycle efficiency = 2.7 / 4

New Manufacturing cycle efficiency = 0.675

New Manufacturing cycle efficiency = 67.5%
