Compute the manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE) for the quarter. (Round your answer to the nearest whole percentage (i.e., 0.12 should be entered as 12).) 3. What percentage of the throughput time was spent in non-valueadded activities? (Round your answer to the nearest whole percentage (i.e., 0.12 should be entered as 12).) 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 answer to the nearest whole percentage (i.e., 0.12 should be entered as 12).)
