Question

Air Comfort manufactures air conditioning compressors in St. Louis, Missouri. The following information pertains to operations in March: Processing time (average per batch) Inspection time (average per batch) Waiting time (average per batch) Move time (average per batch) Units per batch 13.5 hours 5.5 hour .5 hour 5.5 hour 50 units Compute the following operational measures Required: (1) Manufacturing cycle efficiency. (Round final answer to the nearest whole percent.) (2) Manufacturing cycle time. (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.) (3) Velocity. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) (1) Manufacturing cycle efficiency (2) Manufacturing cycle time (3) Velocity hour per unit units per hour

Explanation / Answer

1)Manufacturing cycle efficiency = value added time /throughput time

              = 13.5 /24.5

                  = .55 or 55%

Value added time= process time =13.5

Throughput time= 13.5process +5.5 inspection+5.5 move

         = 24.5

2)Manufacturing cycle time :processing +inspection +moving

     =13.5+5.5+5.5

      = 24.5 hours per batch

Hours per unit = 24.5 /50

                = .49 per unit [rounded to .5 ]

3)Total time :13.5+5.5+5.5+5.5=30 hours per batch

Velociy = number of unit /total time

               = 50 / 30

              = 1.67 units per hour
