Question

Vandenheuvel Corporation keeps careful track of the time required to fill orders. The times recorded for a particular order appear below: Hours Move time 2.3 Wait time 19.3 Queue time 11.4 Process time 1.3 Inspection time 0.9 The manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE) was closest to: (Round your intermediate calculations to 1 decimal place.) Multiple Choice 0.16 0.02 0.08 0.34

Answer 1

Answer: 0.08 Throughput time - It is the amount of time required for a product to pass through a mamufacturing process. In other words, it is the 1. amount of time it takes for a manufacturer to make a product. It covers the entire period from the time when a product first enters manufacturing plant until the product exits manufacturing plant Throughput time = Process time + Move time Queue time +Inspection time = 1.3 hours 2.3 hours + 114 hours 0.9 hours = 15.9 hours . Manufacturing Cycle Efficiency - is the percentage of production time spent on value added activates Value added time Manufacturing Cycle Efficiency Throug hput time The process time in the throughput time is the only time period that is considered as the valuc added time Value added time Process time 1.3 hours = 0.08176....= 0.08 Therefore, Manufacturing Cycle Efficiency= Throughput time Throug hput time 15.9 hours
