Beyond just tracking the number of production cycles completed, it can be particularly valuable to understand when the machine is directly engaged in the manufacturing process and what proportion of time the machine spends engaged vs idle. In Lean Six Sigma, this is related to the concept of 'Value Added Activity.
For example, in CNC machining, it may be useful to understand the amount of time spent running a program vs the machine being loaded or unloaded (even though loading and unloading is included in the cycle time).
