Whenever equipment runs slower than its maximum operating speed (slower than its Ideal Cycle Time) it incurs
cycle time loss Cycle time loss is typically broken into two categories
Slow Cycles
Small Stops
Slow cycles occur when equipment runs slower than its maximum operating speed ndash but is running For
example an operator may deliberately run equipment slow to manage material quality issues
Small stops occur when equipment has stopped ndash but for a short enough period of time that the stop is more
or less still considered to be part of a cycle (in other words it is not considered to be a down time event) An
operator typically addresses small stops without the involvement of maintenance personnel For example an
operator may clear repeated equipment jams caused by material feed issues
This example of a cycle time loss chart shows total cycle loss as well as slow cycle and small stop details for
each part View Cycle Time Loss and Improve Manufacturing Productivity with XL
When considering the production states of Run Unplanned Stop Planned Stop and Not Scheduled cycle time
loss falls squarely in the Run state (it measures losses that occur while the process is running) However itdoes not measure all losses that occur while the process is running Quality losses are a completely
independent category of loss
A precondition for measuring cycle time loss is to know the Ideal Cycle Time of the process Ideal Cycle Time is
the theoretical minimum time to produce one piece (which may be different for different parts) Ideal Cycle
Time is basically the same as maximum operating speed Mathematically the two are reciprocals of each
other Ideal Cycle Time is measured as time per part (eg one second per part) while maximum operating
speed is measured as parts per time (eg one part per second more commonly referred to as 3600 parts per
hour)
There are two common approaches to determining the Ideal Cycle Time
Nameplate CapacityNameplate CapacityNameplate CapacityNameplate Capacity This is the maximum operating speed that the equipment builder specifies (eg youmay buy a press with a design capacity of 120 strokes per minute)
Time StudyTime StudyTime StudyTime Study This is the fastest measured speed that the process can achieve It is not an averagestandard or normal speed It is the maximum operating speed (minimum cycle time)
There are fundamental differences in how manual and automated systems capture cycle time loss although

both rely on an accurate Ideal Cycle Time
Manual measurements of cycle time loss use a ldquomass balancerdquo calculation with information typically captured
at a granularity of shift or part
Cycle Time Loss = Run Time - (Total Parts x Ideal Cycle Time)
Basically what this calculation says is looking only at Run Time compare how fast you could have
manufactured the parts under ideal circumstances (Total Parts multiplied by Ideal Cycle Time) to how fast you
actually manufactured the parts (Run Time) The difference between the two is cycle time loss A problem with
this type of calculation is it is very dependent on down time and changeover time being accurately captured
(otherwise Run Time will not be accurate) Experience has shown that most manual data capture systems
significantly underreport down time (which will artificially inflate cycle time losses)
Automated measurements of cycle time loss provide far more detailed and accurate information including
differentiating between slow cycles and small stops (two of the Six Big Losses) Automated systems compare
each manufacturing cycle to the Ideal Cycle Time and calculate the cycle time loss for each and every part
produced
Cycle Time Loss = sum (Actual Cycle Time - Ideal Cycle Time)
In order to measure cycle time loss accurately it is important to automate data capture and to follow a clearly
defined measurement standard that is consistently applied over time and across equipment We recommend
the following definition
Cycle time loss is measured as the difference between the Actual Cycle Time and Ideal Cycle Time for each
piece that is manufactured (where the Ideal Cycle Time is the theoretical minimum time to produce one part)
Cycle time losses are often hidden from view They are frequently not tracked accurately (if at all) or acted
upon effectively (if at all) There are a few reasons for this
Equipment that is stopped gets greater focus than equipment that is running As a result down time andchangeovers typically get a much higher level of attention than equipment that is running slower than itsmaximum operating speed
Cycle time loss is often built into standard production times which can cause operators to run equipment
slower than its optimal operating speed (ldquoweve always run this wayrdquo)
Manual performance tracking (eg calculating OEE manually) relies on mass balance calculations thatprovides very little in the way of actionable details
When equipment is configured to run slower than the Ideal Cycle Time it is often a symptom of underlying
equipment or material issues For example the operator may know that running slowly results in fewer jams or
fewer rejected parts Often insufficient asset care and material quality issues are masked by running slower
From the perspective of Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and Total Equipment Effectiveness (TEEP) cycle
time loss is captured as a Performance Loss From the perspective of the Six Big Losses cycle time loss is
captured as Reduced Speed (Slow Cycles) and Small Stops
The following is a three step process for reducing cycle times

dont have nameplate capacity information and we are not sure how to validate our Ideal Cycle Times

set too high (lower the Ideal Cycle Time slightly below the Average Cycle Time) This is a surprisingly
common problem
XL monitors every manufacturing cycle in real-time Use Real-Time KPIsReal-Time KPIsReal-Time KPIsReal-Time KPIs to perform a ldquobest of the

monitor the Last Cycle Time metric for a period of time Write down your best cycle times and use
them as a basis for setting the Ideal Cycle Time
