Question

Churz Corporation's management reports that its average delivery cycle time is 31 days, its average throughput time is 12.0 days, its manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE) is 0.40, its average move time is 0.5 day, and its average queue time is 5.0 days.

Required:

a. What is the wait time? (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)
b. What is the process time? (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)
c. What is the inspection time? (Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 1 decimal place.)

Answer 1

Check the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer a.

Delivery Cycle Time = 31.0 days

Throughput Time = 12.0 days

Delivery Cycle Time = Throughput Time + Wait Time

31.0 = 12.0 + Wait Time

Wait Time = 31.0 - 12.0

Wait Time = 19.0 days

Answer b.

MCE = 0.40

Throughput Time = 12.0 days

MCE = Process Time / Throughput Time

0.40 = Process Time / 12.0

Process Time = 4.80 days

Answer c.

Throughput Time = Process Time + Inspection Time + Move Time + Queue Time

12.0 = 4.80 + Inspection Time + 0.5 + 5.0

12.0 = 10.3 + Inspection Time

Inspection Time = 1.7 days
