The general trend is favorable in all of the performance measures except for total sales. On-timeis up, process time is down, ispection time is down, move time is basically unchanged, queue timeis down, manufacturing cycle efficiency is up, and the delivery cycle time is down.
3.Refer to the move time, process time, and so forth, given for month 4. Assume that in month 5 the move time, process time, and so forth, are the same as for month 4, except that through the implementation of Lean Production, the company is able to completely eliminate the queue time during production in month 6 the move time, process time, and so forth, are the same as for month 5, except that the company is able to completely eliminate the inspection time. Compute the new throughput time and MCE. (Round your answers to 1 decimal place.)
