Takt Time and SAM Approaches

Takt Approach SAM/SMV/SAH Approach

Cycle time = Average of observed Standard Allowed Minute (SAM) = (Average Observed
times time x Performance Rating factor) + Allowances

Overall factory/line efficiency reflects operator skill, work pace, effectiveness


compared to standard, as well line balancing factor and other disruptions in factory.
Efficiency % can be adjusted as line become more matured due operators learning
progress as well as considering product complexity, potential absenteeism,
Major difference between two employee turnover etc.
approaches: Performance Rating Factor compares an operators working pace and effectiveness
1. Cycle time vs Standard Time with Standard.
(SAM) Allowances – Personal (such as toilet usages) , Fatigue and delay, and machine
2. Line efficiency factor allowances.
