A Method for Measuring Cycle Time Using Engineering Orders

摘要

There are several methods which may be used to measure cycle time for programs. Some lack the ability to correlate the data to the development process taskks. One reason to measure cycle time is to use the data to peform discussed in this paper analyzes the data collected from a labor collection system. Every direct employee uses the labor collection system to enter the time they worked on specific tasks. This method correlates the hours worked to the development process tasks. This involves standardized cost accounting and Engineering (work) Order (EO) practices as well as the deployment of an Integrated Product Development System.
