    5.2 Notes On Production Cycle

    Production cycle refers to the period of time taken to transform raw materials into a finished product. It can be divided into working and break periods. The working period includes technological operations, natural processes, inspection, maintenance, transport, and storage. To calculate manufacturing efficiency, one divides the value-added production time by the total cycle time, which includes all process, inspection, queue, and move times. To reduce cycle time, one should start by mapping the process, understanding customer demand and supply profiles, calculating current task and cycle times, identifying waste, and reducing customer demand variation.

    Production cycle is used in two meanings:

    broad: a production process that begins with raw materials and ends with finished
    product,
    narrow: time period of the production process from raw materials to finished product.
    The broad meaning is equal to concept of production process, while the narrow one
    describes production cycle itself as described here.

    Elements of production cycle


    Production cycle can be divided into:

    working period,
    break (rest) period.
    Working period
    technological operations,
    natural processes,
    inspection operations,
    maintenance operations,
    transport,
    storage.

    Production Cycle. Production Cycle – a period during which inventories are being
    turned by the company into finished goods. ... For example, the production cycle for
    the windows manufacturing enterprise would be much shorter, than for the
    automobile manufacturers.

    How do you calculate manufacturing efficiency of a cycle?


    To calculate the measurement, divide value-added production time by total cycle
    time. Total cycle time is the aggregate amount of all process time, inspection time,
    queue time, and move time.
    How can I reduce my cycle time?
    Start by studying the process
    Develop a Process Map. ...
    Understand the Customer's Time Bucket. ...
    Study the Customer Demand Profile. ...
    Study the Supply Profile. ...
    Calculate current process task and cycle times. ...
    Assess process capacity. ...
    Identify waste that can be eliminated. ...
    Reduce Customer Demand Variation.
