Management of Mittel Rhein AG of Köln, Germany, would like to reduce the amount of time between when a customer places an order and when the order is shipped. For the first quarter of operations during the current year the following data were reported: Inspection time 0.7 days 15.1 days wait time (from order to start of production) Process tine 3.0 days 1.1 days Move time Queue time 4.4 days Required: 1. Compute the throughput time. (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.) 2. Compute the manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE) for the quarter. (Round your percentage answer to nearest whole percent.) 3. What percentage of the throughput time was spent in non-value-added activities? (Round your percentage answer to nearest whole percent.) 4. Compute the delivery cycle time. (Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 1 decimal place.) 5. If by using Lean Production all queue time during production is eliminated, what will be the new MCE?
