FunnelCloud Report Cycle Analysis
Box Plot

This is a box plot of cycle times for a station over the scope of the report. This report will be divided up vertically by process to display cycle statistics for different Manufacturing Processes.
-
The legend for the Cycle Analysis graph. Each item can be clicked to remove or add it back to the graph below
- Cycle Time - Box plot of historical cycles.
- Part-to-Part - Box plot of historical interrupted cycles. Interrupted cycles are presented differently in graphs, and analyzed differently for statistics.
- Standard - A line representing the standard cycle time for this process.
-
Machine Standard - A line representing the ideal cycle time of the machine (set on the machine profile)
- Non-Production Limit - A line representing the non-production limit for the process.
- Outlier - Shows excessively long, or short cycles that are considered statistically insignificant.
- The Cycle Analysis Box plot shows two box plots for each process, one representing the cycle time for uninterrupted cycles, and one showing the part to part times for interrupted cycles. For better analysis on the uninterrupted cycles, it's recommended that you turn off the Part-to-Part element in the legend. Mousing over the box will give you detailed information on the statistics (shown below).
- Indicates the process the box plot represents.
Box Plot with Part-to-Part Removed

This view shows the box plot with the Part-to-Part element removed. Using this view will give you a better view of the distribution of your cycle times. Additionally, mouse over the plot to show a tool tip with more detailed statistics about the cycle history.
Summary Statistics

These two tables show summary statistics about uninterrupted and interrupted cycles, with the following metrics:
- Process - The manufacturing Process the metrics apply to.
- Standard - The standard cycle time for the process.
- Non-Production Limit - The Non-Production Limit for the process.
- Lower - Calculated as Q1 - 1.5 * IQR
- 1st Quartile - Middle number between the smallest number (not the “minimum”) and the median of the dataset.
- Median - Middle value of the dataset.
- 3rd Quartile - Middle value between the median and the highest value (not the “maximum”) of the dataset.
- Upper - Calculated as Q3 + 1.5 * IQR
- Mean - Average of the sample distribution.
- SD - Standard Deviation
- Overcycle - Count of cycles that exceeded the standard cycle time of the process.
- Total - Total number of cycles that occurred in this manufacturing process.
