8 Key Questions for future state design

1. What is the Takt Time?

Working days/month = 20Days


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
