Cycle Time Display for a method

Kinetic ERP

Is it just me or is it difficult to find a complete cycle time for a method? What am I missing? It would be great if I could open method tracker and see one field that said total cycle time = XX hours.

I can build reports that show estimated time by operation. I can open job tracker activity and see estimated and actual hours by assembly. But why can’t I look at a complete method and see how long it takes to complete?

Am I missing something? Is there somewhere this information is displayed that I’m not aware of? Cycle times are a pretty basic piece of information in manufacturing. Why is it so illusive in Kinetic?

Have you run the Mfg Lead Time Calculation process, this will go and update the Part record to show this information:

We have but it doesn’t display the information we are looking for. Mfg Lead time calculation assumes you have no inventory so for one of our parts the cycle cycle time is about 14 hours when you sum up all the work required to build the part, while mfg lead time is 114 days. Even ignoring all purchase parts, its still 31 days.
