Question

Check my work 3 Management of Mittel Rhein AG of Köln, Germany, would like to reduce the amount of time between when a customer places an order and when the order is shipped. For the first quarter of operations during the current year the following data were reported 10 points Inspection time Wait time (from order to start of production) Process time Move time Queue time 0.2 days 15.5 days 3.4 days 1.5 days 3.6 days Skipped eBook 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.) Hint Print References 1. Throughput time 2. Manufacturing cycle efficiency 3. Non-value-added throughput time 4. Delivery cycle time 5. New manufacturing cycle efficiency days days

Explanation / Answer

1. Throughput time = Process time + Inspection time + Move time + Queue time = 3.4 + 0.2 + 1.5 + 3.6 = 8.7 days

2. MCE = Value-added time / Throughput time = 3.4 / 8.7 = 39%

3. The percentage is 61% because the MCE is 39%, then 39% of the throughput time was spent in value-added activities.

4. Delivery cycle time = Wait time + throughput time = 15.5 + 8.7 = 24.2 days

5. MCE = Value-added time / Throughput time = 3.4 / 5.1 = 66.7%
