mapter #10 Homework Saved Hels Tombro Industries is in the process of automating one of its plants and developing a flexible manufacturing system. The company is finding it necessary to make many changes in operating procedures. Progress has been slow, particularly in trying to develop new performance measures for the factory. In an effort to evaluate performance and determine where improvements can be made, management has gathered the following data relating to activities over the last four months: ints Month eBook 173 134 40 95 106 37 68 Print 10 days 9 days 28 29 7 days 38 5 days Quality control measuresi Number of defects Number of warranty claims Number of customer complaints Material control measuresi Purchase order lead time Serap as a percent of total cost Machine performance measures: Machine downtine as a percentage of availability Use as a percentage of availability Setup time (hours) Delivery performance measures Throughput time Manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE) Delivery cycle time Percentage of on-time deliveries eferences 958 92 85 10 966 958 The president has read in industry Journals that throughput time, MCE, and delivery cycle time are important measures of performance, but no one is sure how they are corputed.
