ABSTRACT:
A cycle time method and apparatus is provided to obtain cost, efficiency, bottleneck and value creation information in a manufacturing facility. The manufacturing facility includes a plurality of production lines with each production line including a plurality of process steps. A work cell which includes a plurality of workers is responsible for each process step. Each work cell has an associated local processing apparatus for inputting process step quantity and time information. The local processing apparatus is coupled to a central processing apparatus via local area network. The central processing apparatus then identifies and calculates bottleneck costing information regarding the process steps, as well as the manufacturing facility bottleneck. Bottleneck cost information for products are then calculated based upon the manufacturing facility bottleneck or factory bottleneck. The bottleneck costing information is then transferred to a printer or projection display nearby a work cell.
