Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Throughput time = Process time + Inspection time + Move time + Queue time
= 18 days + 2 days + 20 days + 10 days = 50 days
MCE = Value-added time (Process time)÷ Throughput (manufacturing cycle)time
= 18 days ÷ 50 days = 36%
= 18 days + 2 days + 20 days + 10 days = 50 days
MCE = Value-added time (Process time)÷ Throughput (manufacturing cycle)time
= 18 days ÷ 50 days = 36%
Learning Objectives
- Comprehend and compute the efficiency of the manufacturing cycle (MCE).
