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.
