Enter the total value-added production time (min) and the total production cycle time (min) into the Manufacturing Cycle Efficiency Calculator. The calculator will evaluate the Manufacturing Cycle Efficiency. 

Manufacturing Cycle Efficiency Formula

The following two example problems outline the steps and information needed to calculate the Manufacturing Cycle Efficiency.

MCE = VAT / PCT * 100

Variables:

  • MCE is the Manufacturing Cycle Efficiency (%)
  • VAT is the total value-added production time (min) 
  • PCT is the total production cycle time (min) 

To calculate the manufacturing cycle efficiency, divide the total value-added production time by the production cycle time, then multiply by 100.

How to Calculate Manufacturing Cycle Efficiency?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Manufacturing Cycle Efficiency.

  1. First, determine the total value-added production time (min). 
  2. Next, determine the total production cycle time (min). 
  3. Next, gather the formula from above = MCE = VAT / PCT * 100.
  4. Finally, calculate the Manufacturing Cycle Efficiency.
  5. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem : 

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

total value-added production time (min) = 30

total production cycle time (min) = 75

MCE = VAT / PCT * 100 = ?
