Tombro Industries is automating one of its plants and developing a flexible manufacturing system. In an effort to revise its performance measurement system, the company gathered the following data for the last four months: The president read in industry journals that throughput time, MCE, and delivery cycle time are important measures of performance, but no one is sure how to compute them. You have been asked to assist the company and gathered the following data: Required: 1-a. Compute the throughput time for each month. 1-b. Compute the manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE) for each month. 1-c. Compute the delivery cycle time for each month. 3-a. Refer to the inspection time, process time, and so forth, given for month 4 . Assume in month 5 the inspection time, process time, and so forth are the same as for month 4, except the company is able to completely eliminate the queue time using Lean Production. Compute the new throughput time and MCE. 3-b. Refer to the inspection time, process time, and so forth, given for month 4. Assume in month 6 the inspection time, process time, and so forth are the same as in month 4, except the company is able to eliminate the queue time and inspection time using Lean Production. Compute the new throughput time and MCE. 1-a. Compute the throughput time for each month. 1-b. Compute the manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE) for each month. 1 -c. Compute the delivery cycle time for each month. Note: Round your answers to 1 decimal place. 3-a. (Month 5) Refer to the inspection time, process time, and so forth, given for month 4 . Assume in month 5 the inspection time - nrocectime, and so forth are the same as for month 4, except the company is able to completely eliminate the queue time Required 3 oduction. Compute the new throughput time and MCE. 3-b. (Month 6) Refer to the inspection time, process time, and so forth, given for month 4 . Assume in month 6 the inspection time, process time, and so forth are the same as in month 4, except the company is able to eliminate the queue time and inspection time using Lean Production. Compute the new throughput time and MCE. Note: Round your answers to 1 decimal place
