Takt Time Calculator
Find the pace you need to produce at to match customer demand.
Hesaplama
Rakamınızı nasıl hesapladık
- Takt time (min/unit)480 dk ÷ 400= 1.2
- Capacity at current pace (units/day)480 dk ÷ 1 dk= 480
- Spare capacity (units/day)480 − 400= 80
Bu rakam ne anlama geliyor
Takt time is available time divided by customer demand — the pace the line needs to hit to keep up, expressed as minutes per unit.
It turns customer demand into one simple production-pace target the whole line can plan shifts and staffing around.
Nasıl iyileştirilir
- 01Compare takt time to your actual cycle time — if cycle time is slower, demand won't be met at the current pace.
- 02Spare capacity above zero means room to take on more demand without changes.
Sıkça sorulan sorular
What is takt time?
Available time ÷ customer demand — the pace you need to produce at to keep up.
Takt time vs cycle time — what's the difference?
Takt time is the pace demand requires; cycle time is the pace you actually run at. Comparing them shows if you can keep up.
What if my cycle time is slower than takt time?
The line can't meet demand at the current pace — output needs to speed up or capacity needs to grow.
Why does takt time matter in lean manufacturing?
It turns customer demand into a single, simple pace the whole line can plan around.
