Delivery Cycle, Throughput Time, Manufacturing Cycle Efficiency
The time taken from the start of the sale process, i.e. the receipt of a confirmed sales order, to the completion of the transfer of goods or services, i.e. dispatch of goods is known as the Delivery Cycle.
It consists of throughput time, Value added time and non-value added time.
To depict delivery cycle in the formula form, the following formula maybe used:
Delivery Cycle = Value added Elements of Throughput Time + Non Value Added Elements of Throughput Time.
Manufacturing Cycle Efficiency is an internal business performance parameter with respect to manufacturing processes and industries. It measures the total time taken by value added activities in relation to the throughput time.
To Determine:
- Throughput Time
- Delivery Cycle
- Manufacturing Cycle Efficiency

Answer to Problem 14P
Solution:
| Average Time per month (in days) | |||
Particulars | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
Throughput Time | 7.40 | 8.00 | 8.80 | 9.50 |
Delivery Cycle | 23.40 | 25.50 | 27.80 | 30.00 |
Manufacturing Cycle Efficiency | 0.23 | 0.24 | 0.25 | 0.26 |
Explanation of Solution
- Throughput time comprises of two main categories of elements i.e. Value added and Non Value added elements.
- Value added elements refer to the time taken for those activities that add quality and value to the overall production process concerning manufacture of goods. Example − Process Time.
- Process time is the time spent on actually producing the product. It refers to the time taken to convert the goods from raw materials to interim or final finished products
- Non Value added elements refer to the time taken for those activities that do not add quality and value to the overall production process concerning manufacture of goods and that need to be eliminated to the greatest extent possible. Example - Inspection Time, Move Time and Queue time
- Inspection time is the amount of time spent assuring that the product is defect free to the best possible extent
- Move time is the time required to transfer raw materials or interim or final finished products from one location to another, such as factory to job workers’ location.
- Queue time is the amount of time that is spent waiting for the actually production activities to commence since other products are being produced or worked upon.
- Given:
| Average Time per month (in days) | |||
Particulars | 1.0 | 2.0 | 3.0 | 4.0 |
Move time per unit | 0.4 | 0.3 | 0.4 | 0.4 |
Process Time per unit | 2.1 | 2.0 | 1.9 | 1.8 |
Wait time per order | 16.0 | 17.5 | 19.0 | 20.5 |
Queue Time per unit | 4.3 | 5.0 | 5.8 | 6.7 |
Inspection Time per unit | 0.6 | 0.7 | 0.7 | 0.6 |
- Formulas Used:
- Total Throughput Time = Time Taken by value added activities + Time Taken by Non value added activities (Except Wait Time)
- Delivery Cycle = Non Value Added activities + Total Throughput Time
- Manufacturing cycle efficiency = Time Taken by value added activities / Total Throughput Time.
- Time Taken by value added activities = Time taken for Process Time
- Time Taken by Non value added activities = Time taken for Move Time + Queue Time + Inspection Time
- Calculations:
| Average Time per month (in days) | |||
Particulars | 1.0 | 2.0 | 3.0 | 4.0 |
Move time per unit | 0.4 | 0.3 | 0.4 | 0.4 |

Inspection Time per unit | 0.6 | 0.7 | 0.7 | 0.6 |
Total Time For Non Value Added Activities (A) | 5.3 | 6.0 | 6.9 | 7.7 |
Process Time per unit | 2.1 | 2.0 | 1.9 | 1.8 |
Total Time For Value Added Activities (B) | 2.1 | 2.0 | 1.9 | 1.8 |

Wait time per order [D] | 16.0 | 17.5 | 19.0 | 20.5 |
Delivery Cycle (C+D) | 23.4 | 25.5 | 27.8 | 30.0 |
Manufacturing Cycle Efficiency | Time Taken by value added activities / Total Throughput Time. | |||
Manufacturing Cycle Efficiency | 22.65% | 23.53% | 24.82% | 25.67% |
Hence the throughput time, delivery cycle, and manufacturing cycle efficiency has been calculated for each months.

To Determine:
Evaluation of the company’s performance over the months
2)

Answer to Problem 14P
Solution:
The performance has improved over the last few months.
Explanation of Solution
- Manufacturing cycle efficiency helps keep track of where time and cost is incurred in non-value added activities and performance efficiency measurement.
- Manufacturing cycle efficiency is denoted by the following formula:
Manufacturing cycle efficiency = Time Taken by value added activities / Total Throughput Time.
Total Throughput Time = Time Taken by value added activities + Time Taken by Non value added activities
- For example if the time Taken by value added activities is 25 minutes per unit and the Time Taken by non-value added activities is 35 minutes then manufacturing cycle efficiency would be 0.42.
- Thus it can be interpreted as, the value added activities take up only 42 % of the total time taken to complete the manufacturing process and the rest is attributable to non-value added activities.
- Given:
| Average Time per month (in days) | |||
Particulars | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
Manufacturing Cycle Efficiency | 0.23 | 0.24 | 0.25 | 0.26 |
- If manufacturing cycle efficiency is 0.23, then it means that non value added activities contribute to 77% of the total throughput time and production process.
- Since the manufacturing cycle efficiency is increasing with every month, it can be said that the time taken by non-value added activities is reducing.
Hence it can be said that the Manufacturing cycle efficiency improves, the time taken by non value added activities reduces.
