Question

Vertis Corporation is interested in cutting the amount of time between when a customer places an order and when the order is completed. Details for the first quarter of the year are provided here. Choose the correct answer from the options provided. Days Wait time 12 Inspection time 0.6 Process time 6 Move time 0.4 Queue time 8 Knowledge Check 01 Compute the manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE).

Answer 1

40%

Step-by-step explanation:

For computing the manufacturing cycle efficiency, first we have to compute the throughput time which is shown below:

Throughput time = Process time + Inspection time + Move time + Queue time

= 6 + 0.6 + 0.4 + 8

= 15

Now

Manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE) is

= Value added time (process time) ÷ Throughput time

= 6 ÷ 15

= 40%

We simply applied the above formulas so that the manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE) could come
