A uniform plant load has two ideas: cycle time and frequency of production.
Cycle time deals with the rate of production, and level loading deals with the
frequency of production. Cycle time with just-in-time is the measure of the rate
of requirements. This is usually measured by the rate of sales. Instead of
producing what the machine is capable of producing, a company should
preferably produce only to the demand that is needed. The cycle time should be
implemented with the last operation in mind; with the last operation being the
need of the consumer, and then going backwards through the master schedule
