Process Cycle Efficiency (PCE)
Process Cycle Efficiency
Value-added processing time divided by total lead time; a measure of how much elapsed time truly creates customer value.
Examples
- 01The process cycle efficiency of a customer order is 4 %: 2 hours of value-adding work in a total lead time of 6 days.
- 02The weekly review tracks process cycle efficiency for the main product family to see whether waiting time is shrinking.
- 03After queues are cut, process cycle efficiency rises to 11 % and lead time drops to 2 days.
