Linear regression:
1/ Definition of variables:
• Dependent variable: pre-assembly cycle time (seconds).
• Independent variable: waiting time due to a supply delay.

Y = a + b.X
Where:
• Y: the dependent variable (pre-assembly cycle time).
• X: the independent variable (waiting time due to a supply delay).
• A : the intercept (constant).
• B: the slope of the regression line (coefficient).
With:
B = COV (X, Y) / V(X) such that:
COV (X, Y) = mean (XY) - mean(X) * mean(Y)
V(X) = mean(X²) - (mean(X)) ²
Refer to the Excel table for the calculations.
Y = 10 + 1.X
Interpretation
Slope (B) = 1: This means that for every additional second of waiting time
due to a supply delay, the pre-assembly cycle time increases by 1 second.
Intercept (A) = 10: This represents the pre-assembly cycle time when
the waiting time is zero (i.e., there is no supply delay). The initial cycle
time would be approximately 10 seconds.
