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: Month 4 186 47 103 164 40 97 125 31 80 92 28 59 10 days 9 days 20 7 daye Quality control measures timber of defects Humber of warranty claims Number of customer complaints Material control merest Purchase order load time BAD AS percent of total cost Machine performance measures Machine down the percentage of availability # # percentage of availability Betup in (hours) Delivery performance RESTORE Throughout time Manufacturing eyes officiency (MCE) Delivery eyeline 5 days 68 41 958 10 58 338 12 50 08 13 88 060 14 2 7 7 978 7 900 The president has read in industry Journals that throughout time, MCE, and delivery cycle time are important measures of performance, but no one is sure how they are computed. You have been asked to assist the company, and you have gathered the following data relating to these measures 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 computed. You have been asked to assist the company, and you have gathered the following data relating to these measures: Average per Month (in days) 2 3 4 Wait time per order before start of production Inspection time per unit Process time per unit Queue time per unit Move time per unit 10.0 0.9 2.8 3.1 0.2 12.4 0.8 2.3 4.2 0.3 13.0 0.8 1.6 5.3 0.3 15.0 0.8 1.0 7.3 0.9 Required: 1-a.

Refer to the inspection time, process time, and so forth, given for month 4. Assume that in month 5 the inspection time, process time, and so forth, are the same as for month 4, except that the company is able to completely eliminate the queue time during production using Lean Production. Compute the new throughput time and MCE. 3-b. Refer to the inspection time, process time, and so forth, given for month 4. Assume that in month 6 the inspection time, process time, and so forth, are the same as in month 4. except that the company is able to eliminate both the queue time during production and the inspection time using Lean Production Compute the new throughput time and MCE.
