Question

The following data pertain to operations at Quick Incorporated:

Throughput time 4.4 hours
Delivery cycle time 8.8 hours
Process time 1.1 hour
Queue time 2.2 hours
The manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE) for this operation would be:

Answer 1

MCE = 1/3 = 33.33%

Step-by-step explanation:

`(Value \: Added )/(Manufacturing \: Cycle \: time)  = MCE`

Value added acivities:

Throughput time 4.4 hours --> value added

Process time 1.1 hour --> value added

total time ading value 5.5 hours

total hours of the cycle

4.4 + 8.8 + 1.1 + 2.2 = 16.5 total time

MCE = 5.5/16.5 = 1/3 = 33.33%
