This document outlines 8 key questions for designing a future state process: 1) it calculates the takt time as 48 seconds per part based on available work time and demand rate, 2) the other 6 questions address whether production will be make-to-order or make-to-stock, where continuous flow and pull systems can be used, what process will set the production schedule, how to level the production mix, how to schedule the pacemaker process, and whether additional improvements are needed.

Total number of shifts =2 Time per shift = 8hrs =8x60x60 =28800Sec Total number of breaks = 2 Time of each breaks =15Min=15*60=900sec
Available work time/month =20 *2* 28800 -2 * 900 =1150200sec
Demand Rate = 24000/month
Therefore; takt time = Available work time/Demand Rate)=1150200/24000=48sec/part
Therefore, the takt time is 48Sec/part
2. Do you make-to-order or make-to-stock?
3. Where can you use continuous flow processing? 4. Where will you need to use supermarket pull system? 5. At what point in the process will you schedule the production (pacemaker process)? 6. How will you level the production mix? 7. How will you schedule the pacemaker process? 8. Do you need additional process improvements?
