    1. Throughput time is 8.6days

    2. Manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE) for the quarter is 32.

    Explanation:

    1. Throughput time is made up of inspection time, queuing time, process time and moving time. The sum of these gives 8,6days

    2. Manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE) is the value added time expressed as a percentage of throughput time. Normally, the value added time is the process time. Thus, MCE=Value added time/Throughput time
