Jackson Fabricators Inc. machines metal parts for the automotiveindustry. Under the traditional manufacturing approach, the partsare machined through two processes: milling and finishing. Partsare produced in batch sizes of 85 parts. A part requires 5 minutesin milling and 10 minutes in finishing. The move time between thetwo operations for a complete batch is 11 minutes.
Under the lean philosophy, the part is produced in a cell thatincludes both the milling and finishing operations. The operatingtime is unchanged; however, the batch size is reduced to 5 partsand the move time is eliminated.
Determine the value-added, non-value-added, and totallead times, and the value-added ratio under thetraditional and lean manufacturing methods. If required, roundpercentages to one decimal place.
