Gain is the most important measure In order to discuss the Cyclo, it is necessary to assume that Gain is the most important measure when it comes to increase the Net Profit. Check the Net Profit and Gain formulas below: \( \begin{aligned} NP&=(PS-RM)-(WF+OH) \\ G&=PS-RM \\ \end{aligned} \) NP: Net Profit; G: Gain; PS: Product Sales; RM: Raw Material; WF: Workforce; OH: Overhead Definitely, it is possible to improve NP just by decreasing any of the expenses. ...

The Company and the Planet The following relationships rule the interaction between the Company and the Planet. COMPANY The Company has Investors that own Shares that decide how to manage a Facility that implements a bAmpli Circuit with at least one bAmpli that handles at least one Cyclo composed by one Stage or more. PLANET The Planet is a living System populated by Products made by a Process expressed by a bAmpli Circuit with at least one bAmpli that handles at least one Cyclo composed by one Stage or more. ...

The Stage

In order to analyze thoroughly the Stage of the Process, we should consider the production flows that results in the final Product for the consumer. The Production Flow Although the following example shows a manufacturing process, these flows can also be applied to generic environments where resources are used for tasks that require skills, to achieve a goal. In order to extract a process sample, the P&Q Factory, shown below, will be used as an example. ...

Frequency distributions

The amount of time each Stage requires at run time should be treated as a frequency distribution to be designed by the Process, ultimately by the Cyclo. When implemented by the Facility, the Times of Gain from the running Cyclo should be captured and analyzed, in order to check how close they are from the expected timing. The timing analysis should detect variations due to existing common and special causes in the Process, according to SPC (Statistical Process Control) and TPM (Total Productive Maintenance) directives. ...
