Example:
– Determine the daily demand (order) volume. Let's say we
have orders for 215 super widget units per day.
– Determine the number of working minutes in a day. Say
that we have an eight-hour day, with 30 minutes for lunch
and two 10-minute breaks. This means we have (8 x 60)-
30-10-10=430 minutes, or 430 minutes in a working day.
– Divide the number of minutes by the number of products
needed. In our current example, the calculation would be
430/215, which equals 2. This means that one unit must be
manufactured every other minute in order to meet
demand. Takt time is 2 minutes.
