How to Calculate Takt Time in Production Process

Knowing Takt time helps you to estimate your service delivery process and process/software outcome. It can help you achieve a consistent, continuous flow of production, eliminate the waste of overproduction by producing to actual customer...

Method 1 of 1:

Takt time is the pace of production (E.g in Manufacturing one piece every minute) that aligns production with customer demand
In plain English, it is how fast you need to manufacture product in order to fill your customer demand
Takt time calculation=Available time / customer demand. For example if customer requires 100 bulbs a day, the Takt time the Takt time is 8 hrs /100
8 hrs is the working time in your 9 hours working day (so you need to exclude your breaks, meetings etc) to mention the available time(numerator)
This means a bulb to be completed every 4.8 minutes
