Required:
a.Determine the throughput time.Show your work!
b.Determine the manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE), Show your work!
c.Determine the delivery cycle time.Show your work!
Throughput Time
The complete duration required for an item to go through the entire manufacturing cycle, beginning to end.
Manufacturing Cycle Efficiency
A ratio showing the value-added time as a percentage of the total lead time within a manufacturing process.
Delivery Cycle Time
The total time taken from receiving a customer order to delivering the finished product to the customer, encompassing all stages of the order processing and production process.
- Assess and interpret the measure of throughput time.
- Determine and appreciate the effectiveness of the manufacturing cycle (MCE).
- Assess the connection between operational efficiency metrics and economic outcomes.

Final Answer :
a.Throughput time
= Process time + Inspection time + Move time + Queue time
= 1.1 hours + 0.1 hours + 2.4 hours + 9.3 hours
= 12.9 hours
b.MCE = Value-added time/Throughput time
= 1.1 hours/12.9 hours = 0.09
c.Delivery cycle time = Wait time + Throughput time
= 10.4 hours + 12.9 hours = 23.3 hours
= Process time + Inspection time + Move time + Queue time
= 1.1 hours + 0.1 hours + 2.4 hours + 9.3 hours
= 12.9 hours
b.MCE = Value-added time/Throughput time
= 1.1 hours/12.9 hours = 0.09
c.Delivery cycle time = Wait time + Throughput time
= 10.4 hours + 12.9 hours = 23.3 hours
