Assembly Time Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Assembly Time (AT) is:

\[ \text{AT} = \text{TCT} - \text{UPT} \]

Where:

\(\text{AT}\) is the assembly time (minutes)
\(\text{TCT}\) is the total cycle time (minutes)
\(\text{UPT}\) is the unit product time (minutes)

What is Assembly Time?

Assembly time is the amount of time required to assemble a product, which is calculated by subtracting the unit product time from the total cycle time. This metric helps in understanding the efficiency of the assembly process and identifying areas for improvement.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Total Cycle Time (TCT) = 30 minutes
Unit Product Time (UPT) = 10 minutes

Using the formula:

\[ \text{AT} = 30 - 10 = 20 \]

The Assembly Time (AT) is 20 minutes.
