Takt Time

Takt time represents the amount of production time you have available to make each part in order to meet customer demand.

#Takt Time

$$\text{Takt Time} = {\text{Shift Duration} \over \text{Required Units per Shift}}$$

---

#Threaded ValueStream Takt Time

$$\text{Takt Time} = {\text{Operating Days Per Week} * \text{Shift Duration} * \text{Shifts Per Day} \over \text{Units Per Week}}$$

where

$$ShiftDuration_{seconds} = (\text{Hours Per Shift} - \text{Break Time}) * 60 * 60$$

#Node-specific Takt Time

Threaded allows overriding the production defaults for specific nodes to meet user-specific production setups. Each node can have different shift durations, so takt time calculations need to take this into account to determine node-specific performance.

$$TaktTime_{node} = {OperatingDaysPerWeek_{node} * ShiftDuration_{node} * ShiftsPerDay_{node} \over \text{Units Per Week}}$$

A node may override all of the production defaults or some individually. If node-specific data for any of the above variables is defined it will be used in place of the ValueStream default.
