b. The cell’s takt time is the rate at which the cell must produce units to match demand.Daily Demand = [11,000 + 2,200] pieces per week4 /5 working days per week = 640 pieces per day Daily Availability = (7 hours per day) * (3,600 seconds per hour) = 25,200 seconds per dayTakt Time = Daily Availability/Daily Demand = (25,200 seconds per day)/640 pieces per day = 39.375 seconds per piecec. The production lead time (in days) is calculated by summing the inventory held between each processing step divided by daily demand.Raw Material lead time = 5.0 daysWIP lead time between Press and Pierce & Form = (2,250/640) = 3.5 daysWIP lead time between Pierce & Form and Finish Grind = (3,350/640) = 5.2 daysWIP lead time between Finish Grind and Shipping = (1,475/640) = 2.3 daysTotal Production Lead time = (5 + 3.5 + 5.2 + 2.3) = 16 daysd. The cycle time at each process is added to compute total processing time. The manufacturing cell’s total processing time is (12 + 34 + 35) = 81 seconds.e. The cell’s capacity may be calculated by locating the bottleneck and computing the number of units that it can process in the available time per day at that bottleneck with the given batch size of 40 units
