Inspection time 0.3
The manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE) was closest to:
Multiple Choice
a. 0.06
b. 0.18
c. 0.62
d. 0.16

Answer 1

Answer: D- 0.16

Explanation: The Manufacturing cycle efficiency is the percentage of the time spent in producing quality products.

The Manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE) is calculated thus:

MCE = Process time/ Manufacturing Cycle time(process time + Inspection time+ move time+ Queue time)

MCE= 1.8/(1.8+0.3+2.4+6.8)

MCE=1.8/11.3

MCE= 0.15929

MCE=0.16
