The cycle time is the interval time between the production of two units in the same process.
It is equal to the time / number of units produced
What is it used for :
- To size resources
- To know the processing capability of a process
- To identify bottlenecks
- To balance lines and to adjust the positions
Ideally, it is necessary that the cycle time of a process equals the Takt Time.
- Cycle time> Takt Time -> Under capacity
- Cycle time <Takt Time -> Over capacity
