Cycle-Timer is a professional-grade digital tool designed for precise time and motion studies, lean manufacturing analysis, and continuous process improvement.

Born from the need for a simple yet powerful tool to replace traditional stopwatches and cumbersome spreadsheets, Cycle-Timer transforms your device into an advanced instrument for capturing and analyzing cycle times. Whether you are an industrial engineer, a Six Sigma professional, an operations manager, or a student, our application provides the accuracy and deep insights required to optimize any task or workflow.

Why Use Cycle-Timer?

In today's competitive landscape, efficiency is key. Understanding the true time it takes to complete a task is the first step towards identifying waste, streamlining operations, and boosting productivity. Cycle-Timer is built to make this process as seamless as possible.

Key Features:

• One-Tap Timing: An intuitive, large button allows for effortless recording of cycle start and end times, minimizing distraction and maximizing accuracy.
• Powerful Statistical Analysis: Instantly receive a comprehensive statistical summary of your data. We automatically calculate mean, median, standard deviation, variance, coefficient of variation, percentiles (5th and 95th), interquartile range (IQR), skewness, kurtosis, and outlier percentage.
• Insightful Data Visualization: Understand your process at a glance. The app generates a cycle time distribution histogram to show frequency and a timeline chart to visualize performance trends over the session.
• Seamless Data Export: Your data is yours. Export complete cycle time data, including timestamps and task names, to a CSV file compatible with Excel, Minitab, Arena, or other simulation and analysis software. You can also share a formatted text summary through any compatible app.
• Clean & Focused Interface: A minimalist design with a dark mode toggle ensures you can focus on your work without unnecessary distractions.

Who Is It For?

• Lean & Six Sigma Professionals: Quantify process improvements, identify bottlenecks, and eliminate waste (Muda).
• Industrial Engineers: Conduct detailed work measurement and establish standard times.
• Operations Managers: Set performance baselines, track productivity, and support data-driven decisions.
• Simulation Modelers: Easily collect interarrival times and process durations for your simulation models.
• Students & Researchers: A perfect tool for learning and applying the principles of work study and process optimization.
