#4 Assuming Baseball inc is a lean manufacturer, what improvements in the selected system is it likely to pursue? Why?

Part 2 Baseball Inc., is trying to decide which automated production line to use to produce a new baseball line. Below is the information on making a batch for each of the two best systems under consideration. System 1 System 2 Setup time 24 9 Movement time from start to finish 9 11 Waiting time 4 15 Inspection time 5 7 Processing time 40 30 Total time in minutes 82 72 Required: Make sure you show your work or use cell references for all calculations. You will not earn credit if you just type in your answer. 1. Determine the cycle time per batch for each system. Explain what cycle time means. System 1 System 2 Cycle Time 58 63 Explanation: Time Required for inputing a raw material into a machine until delivery the product to the customer. Cycle Time= Process Time + Inspection Time + Wait Time + Move Time 2. Determine the cycle efficiency percentage for each system. Explain what cycle efficiency percentage means. System 1 System 2 Cycle Efficiency Percentage 68.97% 47.62% Explanation: Process Time / Total Cycle Time 3. Which system do you recommend and why? I would reccomend #1 because it has high cycle time efficeincy and low cycle time compared to System #2
