2. Add a Machine or edit the machine you need.
3. Select the Cycle Time Tab.
   
4. Fill in the Default Cell Cycle Time information.

Regardless of the machine, the default cycle time for the part will be used if no operation cycle time is defined. 

1. On the Administration Tab, select Parts on Master Data.
2. Add a Part or edit the part you need.
3. Select the Cycle Time Tab.
   
4. Fill in the Default Part Cycle Time information.
5. Save your changes.

Operation Cycle Time

When a machine runs different part numbers at different cycle times, the Operation Cycle Time section helps you define them. The system will calculate the performance based on the established cycle time for the part. 

1. On the Administration Tab, click on Cells/Machines on the Hierarchy. 
2. Add a Machine or edit the machine you need.
3. Select the Cycle Time Tab.
4. Scroll down to the section Operation Cycle Time and click Add Operation Cycle Time.
