Management of Mittel Rhein AG of K$$ln$,$ 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:

$\backslash$table$[[$Inspection time,$0\mathrm{.}4$ days$],[$Wait time $($from order to start of production$),15\mathrm{.}5$ days$],[$Process time,$2\mathrm{.}6$ days$],[$Move time,$1\mathrm{.}4$ days$],[$Queve time,$4\mathrm{.}1$ days$]]$

Required:

Compute the throughput time. $($Round your answer to $1$ decimal place.$)$

Compute the manufacturing cycle efficiency $($MCE$)$ for the quarter. $($Round your percentage answer to nearest whole percent.$)$

What percentage of the throughput time was spent in non$-$value$-$added activities? $($Round your percentage answer to nearest whole percent.$)$

Compute the delivery cycle time. $($Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to $1$ decimal place.$)$

If by using Lean Production all queue time during production is eliminated, what will be the new MCE? $($Round your percentage answer to $1$ decimal place.$)$
