Question

Waymouth Manufacturing operates a contract manufacturing plant located in Dublin, Ireland. The plant provides a variety of electronics products and components to consumer goods manufacturers around the world. Cyde time is a critical success factor for Weymouth which has developed a number of measures of manufacturing speed. Waymouth has studied the matter and found that competitive contract manufacturers have manufacturing cycle times (MCE) of about 37% When last calculated Waymouth's MCE was 32% Key measures from the recent month's production, averaged over all the jobs during that period, are as follows: Average Activity w product development Materials handling Machine maintenance Order scheduling Inspection of completed Pack and save to storage of thin Manufacturing bly onder taking and checking Receiving and stocking waterials Inspection of materials at start forduct Required: Determine the manufacturing cycle effic ency (MCE) for the recent month (Round your answer to 1 decimal place)

Answer 1

ans MCE=Value added production/Total cycle time
Manufacturing assembly=18
Total cycle time=63
18/63*100	28.6	%
Activity	Average Time (hours)
New product development		24
Materials handling		0.5
Order setup		4.5
Machine maintenance		1.5
Order scheduling		4
Inspection of completed order		3.5
Pack and move to storage or ship		0.5
Manufacturing assembly		18
Order taking and checking		1.5
Receiving and stocking raw materials		4.5
Inspection of raw materials		0.5
Total cycle time		63.0
