What is Takt Time and how does it drive Lean manufacturing?
Takt time is the pace at which a factory must produce units to satisfy customer demand: Takt Time = Net Available Operating Time / Customer Demand It dictates line pacing, workstation balancing, and ideal staffing levels.
When cycle times exceed takt time, bottlenecks emerge and customer delivery schedules fail. When cycle times are significantly shorter than takt time, operators experience idle time and overproduction inventory builds up.
Minimize total workstations, maximize line efficiency, and eliminate assembly bottlenecks.
