Difference between Machine Time and Machine cycle time

The difference between Machine Time and Machine cycle time with example are as under:

Machine time:    
The time that machine is working on a product. Machine time is the time that machine is working on a product.

Machine Cycle Time:

 Machine cycle time is the average time of completed units coming out of the  machine.

Example :

In 6 working hours, machine is producing 6 product then cycle machine cycle time is 1 Hour.  And machine time is 6 hours.

Machine Cycle time :    Total machine cycle time / Units produced

Utility of Motion and Time Study

Motion Study is designed to determine to best way to complete a repetitive job for particular domain

Time Study measures how long it takes an average worker to complete a task at a normal pace Motion and time study can reduce and control costs, improve working conditions and environment, and motivate people.

The basic purpose is to improve the work and to reduce waste.

1. Motion analysis techniques
2. Time study techniques

Manufacturing management and engineering students are being prepared to design work stations, develop efficient and effective work methods, establish time standards, balance assembly lines, estimate labor costs, develop effective tooling, select proper equipment, and layout manufacturing facilities.

What is Time & Motion Study ?

Time and Motion study was found in 18th century by Frank B. Gilbreth, Lillian M Gilbreth.

Time and Motion study is detailed analysis of a specific work or job in an effort to find the most efficient method in terms of time and Motions base process.

The Motion and time study is very important at industrial engineering, industrial technology, and industrial management programs because the information that time studies generate affects so many other key areas, including the following:

A. Cost estimating
B. Production and inventory control
C. Plant layout
D. Materials and processes
E. Quality
F. Safety
