SELA's Automated Microcleaving technology helps chipmakers eliminate bottlenecks and shorten
cycle times in Failure Analysis labs by reducing SEM sample preparation time to nine minutes.
"Ownership enables Allstate and Sterling to work closely together to streamline processes and reduce
cycle time while providing customers with a high-quality repair option that is guaranteed.
Analysts meet with management and follow what they can about the company's research, the quality of its products and its
cycle times. These matters are treated as significant by the financial press.
* the slurry is produced outside of the diecasting machine, which allows for tighter process control and improvement of overall casting
cycle time;

"It was thus proposed to change the alloy in the mold core to dissipate heat faster," and thereby reduce both
cycle time and part shrinkage.
Cycle time is the total time from the beginning to the end of one process (Seghers & Spaepen, 2004), thus allowing one cycle of activation and rest phase to be completed before being repeated (Finneran & O'Sullivan, 2010).
In this case, slowing the print
cycle time to match the production rate and optimize the print process is recommended.
Internal mold cooling is another potential
cycle time reduction technique.
Pretend, for a moment, you are plant manager for Company ABC and have instructed your engineers to improve
cycle time by 10%.
Despite supporting so many diverse missions, the battalion completed more than 13,500 intermediate repair orders in an average repair
cycle time of 27.8 days, resulting in III MEF having an overall ground combat equipment readiness of greater than 95 percent.
"If you consider startup and
cycle time together, the machine reduces our
cycle time by 10%," Pomeroy said.
