Required:

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

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

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

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

5. If by using Lean Production all queue time during production is eliminated, what will be the new MCE? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your percentage answer to 1 decimal place.)
