DataSpan, Inc., automated its plant at the start of the current year and installed a flexible manufacturing system. The company is also evaluating its suppliers and moving toward Lean Production. Many adjustment problems have been encountered, including problems relating to performance measurement. After much study, the company has decided to use the performance measures below, and it has gathered data relating to these measures for the first four months of operations.

1-b.
Compute the manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE) for each month. (Round your percentage answers to 1 decimal place (i. e., 0.1234 should be considered as 12.3%.))

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 in month 4, except that through the use of Lean Production the company is able to completely eliminate the queue time during production. Compute the new throughput time and MCE. (Round your answers to 1 decimal place.)

Refer to the move time, process time, and so forth, given for month 4. Assume in month 6 that the move time, process time, and so forth, are again the same as in month 4, except that the company is able to completely eliminate both the queue time during production and the inspection time. Compute the new throughput time and MCE. (Round your answers to 1 decimal place.)

Upper a report about the decline of western investment in third world countries included this: "after years of daily flights comma several european airlines halted passenger service. foreign investment fell 400 percent during the 1990 s." what is wrong with this statement? choose the correct answer below. a. if foreign investment fell by 100 % comma it would be totally eliminated comma so it is not possible for it to fall by more than 100 %. b. the actual amount of the decrease in foreign investment is less than 100%. c. if foreign investment fell by 100%, it would be cut in half. thus, a decrease of 200% means that it would be totally eliminated, and a decrease of more than 200% is impossible. d. the statement does not mention the initial amount of foreign investment.
