Month
Management would like to know the company%u2019s throughput time, manufacturing cycle efficiency, and delivery cycle time. The data to compute these measures have been gathered and appear below:
Month
Compute the manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE) for each month. (Round your answers to 1 decimal place. Omit the "%" sign in your response.)
Assume that in month 5 the move time, process time, and so forth, are the same as for month 4, except that through the implementation of Lean Production, the company is able to completely eliminate the queue time during production. Compute the new throughput time and MCE. (Round your answers to 1 decimal place. Omit the "%" sign in your response.)
Assume that in month 6 the move time, process time, and so forth, are the same as for month 4, except that the company is able to completely eliminate both the queue time during production and the inspection time.
