Descripción

Cycle time is how long a single step takes to finish one unit, from the moment work on it starts to the moment it is done and ready to pass on. Each step has its own cycle time, and the slowest step usually sets the pace of the line.

Cycle time is often confused with takt time and lead time. Takt time is set by customer demand and is a target. Cycle time is measured at the step. Lead time covers the whole journey, including waiting. If a step's cycle time is longer than takt time, it cannot keep up and becomes a bottleneck. If it is much shorter, the step waits or builds up stock. Cycle times are the basis for line balancing and for value stream maps.
