Schurz Corporation's management reports that its average delivery cycle time is 26.7 days, its average throughput time is 10.0 days, its manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE) is 0.22, its average move time is 0.6 day, and its average queue time is 6.7 days.Required:a. What is the wait time?b. What is the process time?c. What is the inspection time?
What will be an ideal response?
a.
Delivery cycle time = Wait time + Throughput time
26.7 days = Wait time + 10.0 days
Wait time = 26.7 days ? 10.0 days = 16.7 days
b.
MCE = Process time ÷ Throughput time
0.22 = Process time ÷ 10.0 days
Process time = 0.22 × 10.0 days = 2.2 days
c.
Throughput time = Process time + Inspection time + Move time + Queue time
10.0 days = 2.2 days + Inspection time + 0.6 days + 6.7 days
Inspection time = 10.0 days ? 2.2 days - 0.6 days ? 6.7 days
= 0.5 days
