MCE
Craig, Inc., has provided the following information for one of its products for each hour of production:
Actual velocity: 200 units (per hour) |
Move time: 17 minutes |
Inspection time: 11 minutes |
Rework time: 14 minutes |
Required:
1. Calculate MCE. If required, round your answer to two decimal places.
2. What is the theoretical cycle time? Calculate MCE using actual and theoretical cycle times. If required, round your answers to two decimal places.
Theoretical cycle time | ? | minutes |
Actual cycle time | ? | minutes |
MCE | ? |
3. What if waste is
reduced by 40 percent?
New waste = _________ minutes
What is the new MCE? If required, round your answer to two decimal places. _________?
What is the new cycle time?
____________ minutes?
1 | MCE | =processing time/( processing time + nonprocessing time) | |
Processing time | =60-17-11-14 | ||
18 | |||
MCE | =18/(18+17+11+14) | ||
0.3 | |||
or, 30% | |||
2 | Processing time = theroritical cycle time = 18 minutes | ||
Actual cycle time = 60 minutes | |||
MCE | 18/60 | ||
0.3 | |||
3 | New Waste | =(42)*(1-0.4) | |
25.2 | minutes | ||
New MCE | =18/(18+25.2) | ||
0.42 | |||
or, 42% | |||
New cycle time | =18+25.2 | ||
43.2 | minutes |
