DataSpan. Incorporated automated its plant at the start of the current year and installed a flexible manufacturing system. The company is also evaluating its suppliers and moving toward Lean Production. Many adjustment problems have been encountered including problems relating to performance measurement. After much study, the company has decided to use the performance measures below, and it has gathered data relating to these measures for the first four months of operations 2 > Month Throughout the days) > Dery tyeleti (days) 12 7 2 Manufacturing cycle efficiency (PCE) > Parcentage of tim deliveries 9 sex Total sales (units) Y43 1270 313 2970 Management has asked for your help in computing throughout time delivery cycle time, and MCE.
