Delivery Cycle Time Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the delivery cycle time is:

$\text{DCT} = \text{WT} + \text{TT}$

Where:

$\text{DCT}$ is the delivery cycle time (days)
$\text{WT}$ is the average wait time (days)
$\text{TT}$ is the total throughput time (days)

What is Delivery Cycle Time?

A delivery cycle time is defined as the total amount of time it takes for a customer to receive an item once ordered. It includes both the average wait time and the total throughput time, providing a comprehensive measure of the efficiency of the delivery process.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Average Wait Time = 5 days
Total Throughput Time = 10 days

Using the formula:

$\text{DCT} = 5 + 10 = 15 \, \text{days}$

The delivery cycle time is 15 days.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Average Wait Time = 3 days
Total Throughput Time = 7 days

Using the formula:

$\text{DCT} = 3 + 7 = 10 \, \text{days}$

The delivery cycle time is 10 days.
