Question

Sheffield Manufacturing spends 49 minutes per order on non-value-added activities. The total manufacturing cycle time is 1.8 hours. Calculate the manufacturing cycle efficiency. (Round answer to 1 decimal place, e.g. 5.1%.)

Answer 1

The manufacturing cycle efficiency is 54.44%

Step-by-step explanation:

Sheffield manufacturing spends 49 minutes per order

The total manufacturing cycle rime is 1.8 hours

Firstly we Convert 49 minutes to hours=49/60=0.82 hours, thus Sheffield manufacturing spends 49 minutes per order

Percentage of time spent on non-value added activities = 100% -Manufacturing cycle efficiency

(0.82/1.8)*100 = 100%-Manufacturing cycle efficiency

0.4555*100 = 100%-Manufacturing cycle efficiency

45.56% = 100%-Manufacturing cycle efficiency

Manufacturing cycle efficiency=100%-45.56% = 54.44%
