TAKT TIME

Based on customer demand, takt time has nothing to do

with how fast equipment operates or how fast workers

are able to move.

It is the blunt reality of how fast production must be to

make deadlines. Takt time is the number of units in an

order divided by the number of workable production

hours.

would take for equipment to complete a movement or

process.

Cycle time normally refers to the time it takes to work

on a unit from start to finish.
