        abstract = {Cycle time is one of the key parameters that must be improved to the greatest extent possible when the manufacturing business is attempting to improve efficiency, cost of capital, and customer experience. Among production industries, reducing production cycle times can offer a competitive advantage. A company's production cycle is an indicator of how well it can convert assets into profits, inventory into products, and supply chains into cash flow. When companies want to please their distributors, a shorter production cycle is a powerful selling point. Because of reduced production cycle times, companies enjoy increased productivity, high customer satisfaction, and high profits. This paper is concerned with identifying a problem relating to production cycle time in VMC machines which lead us to implement a toggle clamp in place of the conventional fixture. In addition, we constructed a bed to operate the toggle clamp. The main objective of using a toggle clamp is to reduce the cycle time thus, achieving improved productivity and higher customer satisfaction.},
