TAKT Time

Takt time is the rate at which a customer requires finished products. It is calculated by dividing the total available production time by the total customer demand. Operating to a steady takt time of around 60 seconds creates a predictable production pace and rhythm. This improves material flow, production planning, efficiency, and makes problems obvious.

Takt Time =
Total Customer Requirements

 Scheduled Runtime - is the total available production time


per day (in seconds). It takes into consideration (subtract)
time scheduled for meetings, maintenance, breaks and
lunches.
 Total Customer Requirements - Quantity of parts required
from the process or a cell per day

TaktTime?
Time?
 The amount of time that material wastes (spends) in an
organization is strongly tied to the amount of controllable cost
incurred and the cash flow of the operation.
 Improve material flow - material requires floor space, tracking
systems, processing and handling, most of which add little
value while increasing the cost of the product.
 Creates a pace of production - Rhythm

Time
 Clearly identify a single part or a final product or a product
family manufactured in the selected Work Cell
 Identify the number of parts and components going into the
final product that is manufactured within the boundaries of the
Work Cell
 Identify all major manufacturing steps within the Cell
 Use well documented history of shipments to the Customer
when calculating Customer requirements

Example
Scheduled Run Time
 Work time = three 8 hour shifts per day
 Each shift gets:
30 minutes for lunch

 two 10 minutes breaks

 10 minutes “end-of-the-shift” clean-up

 Each shift = (8 hrs x 60 Min)-30-20-10 = 480 - 60 =


420 min/shift.
 Total Scheduled Run Time = 3 shifts x 420 min = 1260
min = 75,600 seconds

 How days per week do you operate?
 5 day schedule = 1,350 parts per day
 6 day schedule = 1,125 parts per day
 7 day schedule = 965 parts per day

 Scheduled Run Time = 75,600 sec.
 Weekly Customer Requirements = 6,750 parts
 5 day schedule - 1,350 parts/day
 6 day schedule - 1,125 parts/day
 Takt Time
 5 day schedule = 75,600/1,350 = 56 sec.
 6 day schedule = 75,600/1,125 = ~ 68 sec.

 The most commonly Takt Time used in the automotive
Industry is about 60 seconds
 It is proven (demonstrated) that 60 seconds Takt Time is:
 Easier to balance production flow
 Easier to train – number of work elements to remember
 Easier to rotate and cross-train
 Simplifies manpower planning
 Elements move easier from station to station
 Ease of auditing to see if operator following standardized work
 This does not mean that there is something wrong with Takt
Times less or more than 60 seconds
