Problem 10-14 Measures of Internal Business Process Performance [LO10-3] DataSpan, inc, automated its plant at the start of the curent year and installed a flexable manufacturing system. The company is also DafaSpan, inc, aulmated its plant at the-start of the curent year and instalied a flexble manufacturing system. The company is also. evaluating its suppliers and moving toward Lean Production. Many adjustment problems have been encountered, including problems has gathered data relating to these measures for the first four months of opeiations Management has asked for your help in computing throughiput time, delivery cycle time, and MCE The following average times have been logged over the last fout months: Required: Required 1. Compule the throughput time for each month 1. Compute the delvery cycle time for each month. te. Compute the manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE) for each month. 2. Evaluate the company's performance over the last four months 3. Refer to the move time, process time, and so forth, given for month 4. Assume that in month 5 the move time, pocess time, and so forth are the same as in month 4 , except that through the use of Lean Production the company is able to compietely elimanate the queue time during production. Compute the new throughput time and MCE 3-b. Refer to the move time, process tine, and so forth, given for month 4 . Assume iq month 6 that the move time, process time, and so forth, are again the same as in month 4 , except that the company is able to completely eliminate both the queve time during production and the inspection time. Compute the new throughput time and MCE. Complete this question by entering your answers in the tabs below. Complete this question by entering your answers in the tabs below. 1-a, Compute the throughput time for each month. 1-b. Compute the delivery cycle time for each month. 1-c. Compute the manufacturing cycle efficlency (MCE) for each month. (Round your intermedlate calculations and firal answers to 1 decimal place.) Complete this question by entering your answers in the tabs below. Evaluate the company's performance over the last four months. (Indicate the effect of each trend by selecting "Favorable" or "Unfavorable" or "None" for no effect (i.e. zero variance). Complete this question by entering your answers in the tabs below. 3-a. (Month 5) Refer to the move time, process time, and so forth, given for month 4. Assume that in month 5 the move time, process time, and so forth, are the same as in month 4, except that through the use of Lean Production the company is able to completely eliminate the queue time during production. Compute the new throughput time and MCE. 3-b. (Month 6) Refer to the move time, process time, and so forth, given for month 4. Assume in month 6 that the move time, process time, and so forth, are again the same as in month 4, except that the company is able to completely eliminate both the queue time during production and the inspection time. Compute the new throughput time and MCE. (Round your intermediate calculations and final answers to 1 decimal place.)
