The Ideal Cycle Time, also called the
- Standard or
- Standard Cycle Time or
- Maximum Speed,
is the theoretical maximum speed of a specific product on a machine.
The Ideal Cycle Time, is used to calculate the Performance Rate of a machine.
Theoretical Maximum has to be taken seriously:It means this product can NEVER be made faster on this equipment. (Unless the equipment or the product is being modified)
If the maximum speed is set too low:
- Performance can -and will go- over 100% (Which should never be possible)
- Actual existing performance losses will remain hidden
- The OEE equasion will get distorted
- Thus: your OEE measure will become quite useless
Your OEE can perform far more better!
Most OEE implementations do NOT lead to fundamental improvement! And yet, most machines can produce twice the current capacity at lower cost! How? that is the subject in our courses! click here to learn more!
