The Cycle Time Analysis Web report helps you analyze cycle time by Procedure, Operation, and Phase for selected batches. The analysis is the amount of time, in seconds, between the start time and end time of the selected batches.
To analyze cycle time
-
Search for your saved Batch Analysis.
-
In the Query Results page, select the desired batches.
You must select at least three batches.
-
Under Multiple Batch, click the Compare Cycle Times hyperlink.
-
In the Batch Procedure Selection dialog box, select the Procedure(s) you want to include on your report and click OK.
Using this report
Under the Batch List menu:
-
Click Reselect Batches to open the Query Results page where you can select different batches for this report.
-
Click Edit Query Properties to open the Analysis Properties dialog box.
-
Click Select Procedures to open the Batch Procedure Selection dialog box where you can edit your batch procedure selections.
Parameter Analysis Toolbar
Click the drop-down list to select a different parameter.
Click the green arrows to scroll backward or forward in time. When you scroll backward, the new time period is calculated by multiplying the current time period by -50%. When you scroll forward, the new time period is calculated by multiplying the current time period by +50%. For example, if your current time period is 10 days, when you scroll back in time, the start date of the new time period will be five days before the start date of the current time period. The length of the new time period will still be 10 days.
When you click the Clock icon, the Analysis Properties dialog box will open with the Time tab active, which is where you can specify a new time period.
Click the Copy icon to copy the selected parameter's information to the Clipboard. You can then paste the information into another program, such as Excel.
Click the Properties icon to open the Analysis Properties dialog box.
Click the History icon to view a history of reports that have been viewed.
Cycle Time Analysis
This report provides the following information:
-
Name: This is the name of the selected Unit Procedure, Operation, and Phase.
-
Type: This is the type of Procedure.
-
Parent: This identifies the parent Procedure.
-
Count: This is the number of batches selected.
-
Average: This is the average cycle time, in second, for the selected batches.
-
Std: This is the standard deviation.
-
%: This is the Percent Deviation, which is calculated by dividing the standard deviation (Std) by the Average.
-
Minimum: The is the minimum cycle time, in seconds, for the selected batches.
-
Maximum: This is the maximum cycle time, in seconds, for the selected batches..
-
Total: This is the total number of seconds for the selected batches.
Procedure Graph
This graph plots the cycle time for the selected Procedures. On the X-axis, the mid-point in the time period is plotted along with the start time and end time. A green band indicates values that are within one sigma, a blue band indicates values that are within two sigma, and a light red band indicates values that are within three sigma. Click the button to select a different Procedure. To close the dialog box, click the
button again.
Process Capability Chart
This histogram shows the number of occurrences of a value for the selected Procedure. A normal curve is overlaid as a reference. A green band indicates values that are within one sigma, a blue band indicates values that are within two sigma, and a light red band indicates values that are within three sigma.
