About the Cycle Time Calculator
Average cycle time summarizes the observed production interval per completed unit.
Formula
Average cycle time equals total production time divided by units produced.
Example
Producing 240 units in 480 minutes averages 2 minutes per unit and 30 units per hour.
Notes
An average can hide variation between individual cycles and does not identify causes of delay.
