The plant provides a variety of electronics products and components to consumer goods manufacturers around the world. Cycle time is a critical success factor for Waymouth, which has developed a number of measures of manufacturing speed. Waymouth has studied the matter and found that competitive contract manufacturers have manufacturing cycle times (MCE) of about 40%. When last calculated, Waymouth’s MCE was 35%. Key measures from the recent month’s production, averaged over all the jobs during that period, are as follows: Activity Average Time (hours) New product development 30 Materials handling 2 Order setup 6 Machine maintenance 3 Order scheduling 1 Inspection of completed order 5 Pack and move to storage or ship 2 Manufacturing assembly 24 Order taking and checking 3 Receiving and stocking raw materials 6 Inspection of raw…arrow_forward
