Would the proposed lean approach improve cycle efficiency?Ruiz Foods makes energy bars using a traditional manufacturing process. Raw materials are stored in inventory and then moved into production. Work in process inventory is moved across the company$$s three separate departments. The information below in the Traditional column is available for a recent order. If the company adopts lean manufacturing, management believes both move time and wait time can be reduced, as shown in the Lean column.
