Cycle Time
Cycle time is the elapsed time to complete a defined operation or produce a unit, using stated start and end boundaries.
Definition
In general ERP practice
Cycle time is the elapsed time to complete a defined operation or produce a unit, using stated start and end boundaries. Processing, waiting and setup can be included differently depending on the measurement.
In Odoo
Odoo work-order timers and expected operation durations are the closest tools. Define whether the KPI measures operator time, work-order elapsed time or output per unit; work-center efficiency and parallel processing change the interpretation.
