Additional Analysis
Base Time:
i
Base Time
Time Without Optimization. This is the total time it would take to produce all pieces at the standard cycle time without any optimization or parallel processing. Calculated as (Cycle Time × Number of Pieces).
1h 23m 20s
Actual Time:
i
Actual Production Time
The actual elapsed time from start to finish of production, based on your input of actual end time. This reflects real-world conditions including all efficiencies and inefficiencies.
1h 20m 55s
Effective CT:
i
Effective Cycle Time
The average time taken to produce each piece based on actual production time. Calculated as (Actual Production Time ÷ Number of Pieces). Lower is better and indicates higher efficiency.
9.71s per piece
Efficiency:
i
Efficiency Improvement
The percentage reduction in total production time compared to the standard cycle time. Calculated as ((Time Without Optimization - Actual Production Time) ÷ Time Without Optimization × 100%). Higher percentages indicate greater efficiency gains.
2.9%
Prod. Rate:
i
Production Rate
The average number of pieces produced per minute during the actual production run. Calculated as (Number of Pieces ÷ Actual Production Time in minutes). Higher values indicate faster production.
6.2 pieces/minute
