Balance System
Example 1: Given the following information, compute the takt
time. Total time per shift is 480 minutes per day, and there are
two shifts per day. There are two 20-minutes rest breaks and
a 30-minute lunch per shift. Daily demand is 80 units.
1. Compute net time available per shift:
Total time 480 minutes
Rest time -40 minutes
Lunch time -30 minutes
410 minutes per shift 820 minutes per day
2. Compute the takt time:
Takt time = Net time available per day = 820
= 10.25 minutes per cycle
