2.1.5 Cycle Time Quiz

What is Cycle Time in the context of Standard Work Analysis?

• The time it takes to do one repetition of any particular task

• The operator with the longest Processing Time

• The time a machine runs un-aided without manual intervention

• The processing time of the machine working on a part

When is Machine Time not included in the calculation of Cycle Time?

• When the Operator's time is counted as Wait time

• When the Operator is standing around waiting for the machine to finish a cycle

• When the process is machine intensive

• When the process is labour intensive

What is the difference between Cycle Time and Takt Time in Value Stream Mapping?

• Cycle Time is almost always measured in seconds per unit, Takt Time is almost always measured in minutes per unit

• Cycle Time is the operator with the longest Processing Time, Takt Time is the time it takes to do one repetition of any particular task

• Cycle Time is measured in minutes per unit, Takt Time is measured in seconds per unit

• Cycle Time is the complete time it takes to produce a single unit, Takt Time is the time a machine runs un-aided without manual intervention

What is Manual Cycle Time in the context of Cycle Time categorization?

• The processing time of the machine working on a part

• The time a machine runs un-aided without manual intervention

• The time loading, unloading, flipping/turning parts, adding components to parts while still in the same machine/process

• The operator with the longest Processing Time

What is Overall Cycle Time used to refer to?

• The complete time it takes to produce a single unit

• The time it takes to do one repetition of any particular task

• The processing time of the machine working on a part

• The time a machine runs un-aided without manual intervention

What is Total Cycle Time inclusive of?

• All machines, processes, and classes of cycle time through which a product must pass

• The operator with the longest Processing Time

• The processing time of the machine working on a part

• The time a machine runs un-aided without manual intervention

What is the starting point of one product's processing in a specified machine or operation until the start of another similar product's processing in the same machine or process?

• Overall Cycle Time

• Auto Cycle Time

• Machine Time

• Cycle Time

What is the period required to complete one cycle of an operation or to complete a function, job, or task from start to finish?

• Cycle Time

• Machine Time

• Auto Cycle Time

• Overall Cycle Time

What is Auto Cycle Time in the context of Cycle Time categorization?

• The time a machine runs un-aided without manual intervention

• The operator with the longest Processing Time

• The processing time of the machine working on a part

• The time loading, unloading, flipping/turning parts, adding components to parts while still in the same machine/process

What is the difference between Cycle Time and Total Cycle Time?

• Cycle Time is the operator with the longest Processing Time, Total Cycle Time includes all machines, processes, and classes of cycle time

• Cycle Time is the complete time it takes to produce a single unit, Total Cycle Time is the time a machine runs un-aided without manual intervention

• Cycle Time is the time it takes to do one repetition of any particular task, Total Cycle Time is the processing time of the machine working on a part

• Cycle Time is almost always measured in seconds per unit, Total Cycle Time is generally used when speaking of a single machine or process
