Question

Indy Company has the following data for one of its manufacturing plants:
Maximum units produced in a quarter (3-month period): 250,000 units
Actual units produced in a quarter (3-month period): 204,000 units
Productive hours in one quarter: 25,000 hours
Actual cycle time: 7.35 minutes
Theoretical cycle time: 6 minutes
Required:
1. Calculate the amount of processing time and the amount of nonprocessing time. If required, round your answers to two decimal places.
Processing time minutes
Nonprocessing time minutes
2. Calculate the MCE. If required, round your answer to nearest whole number. %

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Processing time:

Processing time = Theoretical time

Processing time is there for 6 minutes

Non processing time = Actual cycle time - processing time

= 7.35 - 6

= 1.35 minutes

2. Manufacturing Cycle Efficiency (MCE):

= Processing time / Actual cycle time

= 6 / 7.35

= 81.6%
