TAKT TIME: How To Calculate Takt Time Tutorial

[leprecauno75]

Why do not you try some test on Takt Time with the Takt Time Calculator on line on to better understand?

how does takt time include a factor such as worker fatigue in a highly physical environment?

@vidoent Your takt time is the rate of customer demand. Customer demand is separate from cycle time, which is the measures the average time it takes a worker to complete a task. And when you're doing your time studies you should take times for multiple workers and multiple shifts (if possible) to determine if the completion times are reasonable. The cycle time will be used to estimate the number of workers needed to achieve the takt time. Does that answer your question?

@leansixsigmasource Your answer makes alot more sense than what is happening here. The incorporation of cycle time was calculated by one study and not over multiple workers and shifts. Thanks for your response!
