In a Mass production unit..making 500 units per 8 hour shift..do we include loading and unloading times of jobs in the Cycle time.
The Production manager has given 15 Seconds for loading and unloading in addition to processing/cutting time of 45 seconds.
A small error in the loading and unloading times gives lot of free time to the operator and OEE is coming as 90-92%.
Also if Loading and unloading times are taken as part of Ideal cycle time how can we take steps to reduce loading and unloading times which is actually a NVA.
Thanks in advance.
