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?

B. What is the task time for this manufacturing cell?

C. What is the production lead time at each process in the manufacturing cell?

D. What is the total processing time of this manufacturing cell?

E. What is the capacity of this manufacturing cell?
