Perform Takt Time Calculation
Explanation
This activity is used to calculate the takt time for defined
inputs. The calculated value is saved, and can be used as the basis for
additional activities such as setting the line run rate, or as the baseline takt
time for comparison in the line operations analysis.
Prerequisites
This activity has the following prerequisites:
- A production line must have been defined with operating
minutes.
- Some demand details must exist for the sample date range.
System Effects
- Takt
time will be calculated and stored for the production line, along with the other values
documenting the data used as inputs for the takt time calculation.
- The calculated
value will over write the existing value.
