Air Comfort manufactures air conditioning compressors in St. Louis, Missouri. The following information pertains to operations in March Processing time (average per batch) Inspection time (average per batch) Waiting time (average per batch) Move time (average per batch) Units per batclh 12.0 hours 4.0 hour 4.0 hour 4.0 hour 40 units Compute the following operational measures Required: (1) Manufacturing cycle efficiency. (Round final answer to the nearest whole percent.) (2) Manufacturing cycle time. (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.) (3) Velocity. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) (1) Manufacturing cycle efficiency (2) Manufacturing cycle time (3) Velocity hour per unit units per hourExplanation / Answer
Manufacturing cycle time= Processing time + Inspection time + Waiting time + Move time = 12 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 24 hours
Manufacturing cycle efficiency = Process time/Manufacturing cycle time
= 12/24 = 50%
Velocity = (60 min/manufacturing time) *batch = (60/24) *40 = 2.5*40
= 100 units per hour
