Advantages and Limitations of Takt Time

Takt time has advantages like helping identify bottlenecks and underperforming stations more quickly, and focusing manufacturers on value-added work. However, takt time also has limitations such as one halted station stopping the entire production line, shorter takt times potentially increasing injuries and machine breakdowns as workers rush to meet targets, and production lines needing restructuring to accommodate shorter takt times if customer demand increases.
