How to calculate cycle time improvement

This calculator finds cycle time improvement by subtracting new cycle time from original cycle time.

How the calculation works

Improvement = Original cycle time − New cycle time.

Example

Original 12 minutes, new 9 minutes: 12−9 = 3 minutes saved.

Frequently asked questions

Pro Tips for Cycle Time Improvement

  1. Express improvement as a percentage of original time (improvement ÷ original × 100) for easier comparison across processes with very different baseline cycle times.
  2. Verify the new cycle time is measured under comparable conditions to the original for a fair comparison.

Common Cycle Time Improvement Mistakes to Avoid

  • Comparing cycle times measured under different conditions (different operators, product variants, or shift patterns) as if they were directly comparable.
