Management of Mittel Rhein AG of Kln, 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:

Inspection time 0.4 days Wait time (from order to start of production) 16.3 days Move time 2.9 days Queue time 4.3 days

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

Throughput time__________days 2. 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).) Manufacturing cycle efficiency___________%

3. What percentage of the throughput time was spend in non-value added activities? (Round your answer to the nearest whole percentage (i.e., 0.12 should be entered as 12).) Non-value-added throughput time_________% 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).) New manufacturing cycle efficiency______________%
