Schurz Corporation's management reports that its average delivery cycle time is 27 days, its average throughput time is 10.0 days, its manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE) is 0.32, its average move time is 0.3 day, and its average queue time is 6.0 days.Required:a. What is the wait time? (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)b. What is the process time? (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)c. What is the inspection time? (Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 1 decimal place.)

Delivery Cycle Time

The total time taken from receiving a customer order to the delivery of the product, indicating the efficiency of the production and delivery system.

Manufacturing Cycle Efficiency

A performance metric that measures the efficiency of the production process by dividing the value-added time by the total cycle time.

Queue Time

The total time that a product or job spends waiting in line to be processed at various stages of production.

  • Analyze the throughput duration, calculate the manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE), and identify the delivery interval under the purview of quality and performance regulation.
  • Detect inefficiencies within manufacturing workflows and outline measures to diminish them.

Final Answer :
a. Delivery cycle time = Wait time + Throughput time{{[a(1)]:#,###}} days = Wait time + {{[a(2)]:#,###.0}} daysWait time = {{[a(1)]:#,###}} days − {{[a(2)]:#,###.0}} days = {{[a(6)]:#,###.0}} daysb. MCE = Process time ÷ Throughput time{{[a(3)]:#,###0.00}} = Process time ÷ {{[a(2)]:#,###.0}} daysProcess time = {{[a(3)]:#,###0.00}} × {{[a(2)]:#,###.0}} days = {{[a(7)]:#,###.0}} daysc. Throughput time = Process time + Inspection time + Move time + Queue time{{[a(2)]:#,###.0}} days = {{[a(7)]:#,###.0}} days + Inspection time + {{[a(4)]:#,###0.0}} days + {{[a(5)]:#,###0.0}} daysInspection time = {{[a(2)]:#,###.0}} days − {{[a(7)]:#,###.0}} days − {{[a(4)]:#,###0.0}} days − {{[a(5)]:#,###0.0}} days = {{[a(8)]:#,###0.0}} days
