one more thing : getting the average cycle time may not be a reference, because sometimes unitar production may vary a lot, thus how_many_parts/1_hour may be subject to deviations caused by different things

sometimes i inspect when each operation starts&finishes, thus i can create an operation frequency chart for 1-2 days, 1-2 months, etc ...

of course, main goal is to achieve minimal cycle time deviations, with minimal downtime and minimal total time : there is a thin line that may lead to problems if it is passed, because going faster on a stable setup may come with more downtime, caused by more tool changes or more offset changes / kindly
