Takt Time = Production Time Available

Customer Demand

Crew Size = Sum of Manual Cycle Time


__________________________________

Takt Time

Example Production Time Available = 420 mins per day

Customer Demand = 500 parts per week = 100 parts pe Takt Time = 420 / 100 = 4.2 minutes Cycle Time = 1,400 seconds Crew Size = 1,400 / 242 = 5.6 = 6 staff, strive for cycle reduction as to arrive at crew size of 5 staff

Overall Equipment Effectiveness


OEE = Availability/Uptime x Productivity/Speed x Quality % Typical: 50-60% World Class: 85% Example Availability 86%, Productivity 60%, Quality 96% OEE = 0.86 x 0.6 x 0.96 x 100 = 49.5%
