Wikis > Manufacturing/Maintenance Process Cycle
A process cycle is a sequence of steps required and a set of activities associated with the manufacture of finished products. It essentially starts with the customer requirement and ends with delivery of the required product.
It is a framework that describes how and from where the process starts. It also describes when and how the interrelated operations depend on each other. It describes the progress of each process cycle, helping the user estimate the overall time required to produce a finished product.

- Navigate to the Manufacturing app > Processes tab.
- Once in the Process section, select the process record to create the process cycle.
