Manufacturing Cycle Efficiency (MCE) measures the proportion of the manufacturing process, which converts raw materials into finished goods. MCE highlights areas of improvement by identifying non-value-added activities like waiting or inspections.   

Think of it like baking a cake—MCE measures the time spent mixing and baking versus waiting for the oven to preheat.
