Waymouth Manufacturing operates a contract manufacturing plant located in Dublin, Ireland. The plant provides a varlety of electronics products and components to consumer goods manufacturers around the world. Cycle time is a critical success factor for Waymouth, which has developed a number of measures of manufacturing speed. Waymouth has sudied the matter and found that competitive contract manufacturers have manufacturing cycle times $($MCE$)$ of about $34\%.$ When last calculated, Waymouth's MCE was $27\%.$

Key measures from the recent month's production, averaged over all the jobs during that period, are as follows:

$\backslash$table$[[$Activity$,\backslash$table$[[$Average Time$],[($hours$)]]],[$New product development,$14\mathrm{.}0],[$Materials handling,$0\mathrm{.}5],[$Order setup,$2\mathrm{.}0],[$Machine maintenance,$2\mathrm{.}5],[$Order scheduling,$9\mathrm{.}0],[$Inspection of completed order,$1\mathrm{.}0],[$Pack and move to storage or ship,$1\mathrm{.}0],[$Manufacturing assembly,$8\mathrm{.}0],[$Order taking and checking,$1\mathrm{.}5],[$Receiving and stocking raw materials,$2\mathrm{.}0],[$Inspection of raw materials at start of production,$0\mathrm{.}5]]$

Required:

$1.$ Determine the manufacturing cycle efficiency $($MCE$)$ for the recent month. $($Round your answer to $1$ decimal place $($i$.$e$.\mathrm{.}123=12\mathrm{.}3\%).)$
