Answer:
1. The throughput time is 9 days
2. The MCE is 0.30
3. 70% of the throughput time was spent on non-value added activities.
4. The delivery cycle time is 23 days
5. The New MCE is 67.5%
Explanation:
1. To calculate the throughput time we would have to use to make the following calculation:
throughput time=process time+inspection time+movie time+queue time
throughput time=2.7+0.3+1+5
throughput time=9 days
2. To calculate the MCE we would have to use to make the following calculation:
MCE=value added time/throughput time
MCE=2.7/9=0.30
3. MCE is 30% which means that out of the total throughput time, time spent on value added activities was 30%. Thus it means that 70% of the throughput time was spent on non-value added activities.
4. To calculate the delivery cycle time we would have to use to make the following calculation:
delivery cycle time=wait time+throughput time
delivery cycle time=14+9=23 days
5. To calculate the new MCE we would have to use to make the following calculation:
New MCE=value added time/throughput time
New MCE=2.7/4
New MCE=67.5%
