Answer and Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

A) Throughput time for each month:

Throughput time = Process time+inspection time+move time+queue time

month 1 : 2.1 days+0.6 days + 0.4 days+4.3 days = 7.4 days

month 2 : 2.0 days+0.7 days + 0.3 days+5.0 days = 8.0 days

month 3 : 1.9 days+0.7 days + 0.4 days+5.8 days = 8.8 days

month 4 : 1.8 days+0.6 days + 0.4 days+6.7 days =9.5 days

B) Manufacturing cycle efficiency:

MCE = Value added time ÷ Throughput time

Month 1 : 2.1 days ÷ 7.4 days =28.38%

Month 2 : 2.0 days ÷ 8.0 days =25%

Month 3 : 1.9 days ÷ 8.8 days = 21.59%

Month 4 : 1.8 days ÷ 9.5 days = 18,95%

C) Delivery cycle time :

DCT = Wait time + throughput time

Month 1 : 16.75 days + 7.4 days = 24.15 days

Month 2 : 17.50 days + 8.0 days =25.50 days

Month 3 : 19.0 days + 8.8 days = 27.80 days

Month 4 : 20.50 days + 9.5 days = 30 days
