To assess a Build Time of a machine, product, or system - one needs to sum of several steps. This assumes that product design, BOM, and production engineering is already documented. To assess build time, one needs to be able to document:

Number of people doing the build
Number of machines/products being built
Condition of satisfaction for a complete build

Build
Testing
Calibrating

Time that it takes to source all materials

ordering
shipping
pickup
receiving
legalities
financial overhead
other

Time it takes to prepare:

Workshop space preparation
Tool preparation or securing tools
Unpacking tools and materials
Distributing tools and materials to work stations

Time it takes to build:

Cut list: precutting to length, drilling etc.
Parts manufacturing - milling, cutting, welding, etc.
Assembly - Module 1
Assembly - Module 2
... Module n
Module quality control/testing/calibration - module 1-n
Final assembly

Time it takes to finish:

Final cleanup, buffing, painting, grinding
Final quality control
Final Testing
Final Calibration
Cleanup
