Determine the delivery cycle time


Management of Mittel Rhein AG of Köln, Germany, would like to reduce the amount of time between when a customer places an order and when the order is shipped. For the first quarter of operations during the current year the following data were reported:

  • Inspection time 0.3 days
  • Wait time (from order to start of production) 16.8 days
  • Process time 2.8 days
  • Move time 0.9 days
  • Queue time 4.2 days

1. Compute the throughput time. (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)
2. Compute the manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE) for the quarter. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
3. What percentage of the throughput time was spent in non-value-added activities? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number. Omit the "%" sign in your response.)
4. Compute the delivery cycle time.(Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)
5. If by using Lean Production all queue time during production is eliminated, what will be the new MCE? (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)
