Cycle time optimization refers to the systematic analysis and adjustment of cycle times within a production process to improve efficiency, balance, and overall performance. The cycle time defines the time interval in which a product must be completed to meet customer or market demand. Cycle time optimization involves reviewing and aligning processes, work content, machine runtimes, and workforce allocation in order to reduce bottlenecks, waiting times, and overloads.
