FabTime Wafer Fab Cycle Time Tutorial

Cycle time in a factory is directly related to the amount of product in the factory (WIP), the number of hours of production time available on each machine (capacity), and the amount of variability in the factory. These relationships can be proven mathematically, and generally agree with the intuition of factory managers. Understanding how the relationships work is the first step to reducing cycle times.
