Takt

Takt time is defined as the time interval between parts being produced to meet customer demand. This example calculates takt time from the available production time of 900 minutes per day and customer demand of 1000 units per day. It determines the takt time is 0.9 minutes by taking the total production time and dividing it by the daily demand.

The “Lean Lexicon” published by the Lean Enterprise Institute defines Takt Time as :

“Takt Time is the time interval between parts being produced to meet customer demand”

This simple example shows how Takt time can be calculated from customer demand and the
available production time.

Takt Time = Production Time Per Day / Daily Demand


= No of Minutes Per Day / Daily Demand
= eVUnit_Page_1_days_mins / D8
= 900/1000
= 0.9 minutes

Note :

In the formula above the variable “eVUnit_Page_1_days_mins” is used to convert from days to
minutes :

Conversion variables are automatically generated in the excel spreadsheet based on the unit
