Maxwell Yoder · Answer 1

C) 0.20

Explanation:

We know that,

Process time = Manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE) * average throughput time

where,

Average throughput time = Process time + Inspection time + Move time + Queue time

= 1.9 + 0.1 + 2.7 + 4.8

= 9.5

And, the process time would be 1.9

Now put these values to the above formula

So, the efficiency would equal to

1.9 = Manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE) * 9.5

So, Manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE) would be 0.20
