Answer - Takt Time Exercise #1

Step 1 - Calculate time available
510 Minutes in a day (8.5 time 60 minutes)
-30 Subtract lunch
-10 Subtract morning break
-10 Subtract afternoon break
-5 Subtract morining wash up
-5 Subtract afternoon wash up
-6 Subtract daily team meeting
Time Avail = 444 Minutes available

Step 2 - Determine the daily customer requirement

1 CSU
3 Every 3 days = 0.33 Daily requirement is for 0.33 of a CSU

Step 3 - Calculate the takt time

444 Minutes available each day
0.33 Daily CSU requirement Takt time = 1,345 Minutes

Step 4 - Convert to seconds

1,345 times 60 = 80,727 Seconds per CSU

Answer - Takt Time Exercise #2

Step 1 - Calculate time available
510 Minutes in a day (8.5 time 60 minutes)
-30 Subtract lunch
-10 Subtract morning break
-10 Subtract afternoon break
-5 Subtract morining wash up
-5 Subtract afternoon wash up
-6 Subtract daily team meeting
Time Avail = 444 Minutes available per shift
888 Total for two shifts

Step 2 - Determine the daily customer requirement

1 CSU
2 Every 2 days = 0.50 Daily requirement is for 0.50 of a CSU

Step 3 - Calculate the takt time

888 Minutes available each day
0.50 Daily CSU requirement Takt time = 1,776 Minutes

Step 4 - Convert to seconds

1,776 times 60 = 106,560 Seconds per CSU

Answer - Takt Time Exercise #3

Step 1 - Calculate time available
510 Minutes in a day (8.5 time 60 minutes)
-30 Subtract lunch
-10 Subtract morning break
-10 Subtract afternoon break
-5 Subtract morining wash up
-15 Subtract afternoon clean up
-6 Subtract daily portion of weekly team meeting
Time Avail = 434 Minutes available

Step 2 - Determine the daily customer requirement

1 HAB every day = 1/1 = 1.0 per day

1 Wingtip every 5 days = 1/5 = 0.2 per day
1 Rudder Fairing every 2 days = 1/2 = 0.5 per day

Daily customer requirement = (1.0 + 0.2 + 0.5) = 1.7 parts

Step 3 - Calculate the takt time

434 Minutes available each day
1.70 Daily part requirement Takt time 255 Minutes

Step 4 - Convert to seconds

Takt time times 60 = 15,300 Seconds per part

Answer - Takt Time Exercise #4

Step 1 - Calculate time available
510 Minutes in a day (8.5 time 60 minutes)
-30 Subtract lunch
-75 Subtract time for daily financial review
-45 Subtract time to update charts
-90 Subtract time to pay suppliers
-20 Subtract time for breaks
Time Avail = 250 Minutes available

Step 2 - Determine the daily requirement

As stated, 9 per day

Step 3 - Calculate the takt time

250 Minutes available each day
9.00 Daily part requirement Takt time 27.78 Minutes

Step 4 - Convert to seconds

Takt time times 60 = 1,667 Seconds per quote

Answer - Takt Time Exercise #5

Step 1 - Calculate time available
510 Minutes in a day (8.5 time 60 minutes)
-30 Subtract lunch
-40 Subtract time for designers meeting
-15 Subtract time for phone calls
-90 Subtract time to review new drawings
-20 Subtract time for breaks
Time Avail = 315 Minutes available

Step 2 - Determine the daily requirement

27 Working days
-2 Vacation days
25 Working days available

210 drawings / 25 working days = 8.4 releases per day

Step 3 - Calculate the takt time

315 Minutes available each day
8.40 Daily part requirement Takt time 37.5 Minutes

Step 4 - Convert to seconds

Takt time times 60 = 2,250 Seconds per release

Answer - Takt Time Exercise #6

Step 1 - Calculate time available
510 Minutes in a day (8.5 time 60 minutes)
-30 Subtract lunch
-10 Subtract morning break
-15 Subtract daily maintenance
-10 Subtract afternoon break
-5 Subtract morining wash up
-5 Subtract afternoon wash up
-6 Subtract daily team meeting
Time Avail = 429 Minutes available times 60 = 25740 Seconds available

Step 2 - Determine the daily customer requirement

Given as: 625 parts per day

Step 3 - Calculate the takt time

25740 Seconds available each day
625 Daily requirement Takt time = 41.18 Seconds

Converting to seconds first allows us to see rounding errors that may be hidden!
