الأسئلة الشائعة
What is takt time?
Takt time is the maximum allowable production time per unit, set by the rate of customer demand. The term comes from the German word 'Takt' meaning beat or pulse.
How does takt time differ from cycle time?
Takt time is set by customer demand (external rhythm). Cycle time is actual production time (internal metric). Cycle time must be ≤ takt time.
What happens when cycle time exceeds takt time?
Production cannot keep up with demand, causing delivery delays. You must reduce cycle time or increase available production time.
