The manager at Ormonde Inc. collected the value stream mapping data from the plant's most problematic manufacturing cell that fabricates parts for washing machines. This data is shown in Table 1. Using this data, calculate the current state performance of the cell and answer the following questions

a. What is the cell's current inventory level?

The cell's current inventory level is _________(Enter your response as a whole number.)

b. What is the takt time for this manufacturing cell?

The takt time is _____ minutes (The cell's takt time is the rate at which the cell must produce units in order to match demand. It can be caluclated as ratio of the time availability in a day (daily availability) and the daily demand of parts). Enter your response rounded to two decimal places

c. What is the production lead time at each process in the manufacturing cell? Complete the table

Interval Lead Time

Before Cutting ______

Between Cutting and Bending ______

Between Bending and Punching _____

After Punching _______

d. There's a total processing time of this manufacturing cell? ________ seconds

e. What is the capacity of this manufacturing cell? ________ units
