Cycle Time Calculation

Cycle Time = (Press Cycle Time + Labor Handling Time) * Adjustment Factor

Cycle time is a function of the following:

• Press cycle time (specified by the machine property Press Cycle Time)

• Labor handling time (looked up by Part Volume in the lookup table smGenericPressHandling)

• Adjustment factor (specified by the cost model variable cycleTimeAdjustmentFactor). This factor is 1 in aPriori starting point VPEs. VPE administrators can modify cycleTimeAdjustmentFactor in order to adjust cycle times across processes within the current VPE.
