According to TPM management consulting to understand the so-called standard cycle time is productive time per one unit of product required, it is a day of production from the plant and the number of actual working time per day plant determined. Calculated as follows: Lean Enterprise requirements, the production site must be in accordance with the time standard workers' standard period of time "under (or beat) engage in productive activities, may not lead nor lag, otherwise excess production or delay in delivery. Suppose now TPM management consulting market orders a month is 20,000 vehicles, the actual working day of the month is 20 days, then the plant every day to produce 1,000 cars. If the actual work day is 15 hours (two shifts), then the standard cycle time of the month is it to say, the total assembly line car off the assembly line every 0.9 minutes on it, do not speed, and do not slow down. All stations of the total assembly line workers, assembly work must be completed each step in 0.9 minutes. From here we can see that the standard cycle time is essentially determined by market demand. Only standard cycle time for production activities and the operations in order to achieve a balanced production, making parts of water a camel through the production system products, and ultimately time production, eliminate wasteful overproduction caused all sorts of really increase productivity. In addition, TPM management consulting also learned that the standard period of time given to determine the operating range of multi-skilled operator time constraints. In this way, we can determine the number of workers produce a unit of product required in the standard period of time. Obviously, the standard cycle for a long time, the number of workers can reduce the production site; otherwise, you have to increase the number of workers.
