Takt Time

Takt Time

Takt time is exact available time divided by demand in this deterministic model.

highlighted = computed this step

Divide

Cycle time is available time divided by demand.

cycle time=available time/demand\text{cycle time}=\text{available time}/\text{demand}

Cycle time

Cycle time is 4 minutes per unit.

480/120=4480 / 120 = 4
