Task 5.2: Calculate Takt Time

Takt Time is the “beat’, or tempo, of each process for the given volume and mix of product.  Think “Metronome”.  As a very simple example, assume we have a short day of 400 effective work minutes, and we need to produce 100 units.  So, over the course of the day, we must finish one unit every 4 minutes.  The formula to calculate Takt Time is:

Takt   =   Effective Work Minutes / Throughput by Process

                                   4.00   =                 400                       /                100

Show your Takt Time results in minutes, with two decimal places.
