Conventional Definition

Process Cycle Time measures time from process initiation to completion for a defined workflow.

In Value Realization, cycle-time reduction is value when it releases capacity, accelerates cash, improves service, reduces risk, or increases throughput without degrading quality.

Notes

This draft measure is an indicator, not a complete proof of realized value. It should be interpreted with baseline, attribution, timing, confidence, quality, risk, and sustainability evidence.
