    This document calculates key metrics for a manufacturing process, including throughput time of 8 days which includes various wait, move, inspection, and queue times. It then calculates manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE) of 35% based on value-added processing time vs total time. Finally, it shows that eliminating all queue time could reduce throughput time to 4 days and increase MCE to 70%, demonstrating lean production approaches' benefits.

    Exercise 11-3 (20 minutes)

    1. Throughput time = Process time + Inspection time + Move time +


    Queue time
    = 2.8 days + 0.5 days + 0.7 days + 4.0 days
    = 8.0 days

    2. Only process time is value-added time; therefore the manufacturing


    cycle efficiency (MCE) is:

    3. If the MCE is 35%, then 35% of throughput time was spent in value-
    added activities, the other 65% was spent in non-value-added activities.

    4. Delivery cycle time = Wait time + Throughput time


    = 16.0 days + 8.0 days
    = 24.0 days

    5. If all queue time is eliminated, then the throughput time drops to only 4
    days (0.5 + 2.8 + 0.7). The MCE becomes:

    Thus, the MCE increases to 70%. This exercise shows quite dramatically
    how lean production approach can improve operations and reduce
    throughput time.
