    desired cycle time: 60 seconds

    Explanation:

    The desired cycle time should match production with demand

    If there is a demand per day of 480 units then the cycle time should be:

    8 hours x 60 minute x 60 seconds = 28,800 second

    we divide this by the 480 units of demand:

    28,800 second / 480 units = 60‬

    The company needs to complete a unit in a 60 second time period.
