Takt Time, Cycle Time, Lead Time Training
In production and operations processes, the questions "how fast should we produce?", "how long does an operation actually take?" and "why is delivery to the customer delayed?" have no clear answers — until these three fundamental lean manufacturing metrics are calculated correctly. Grupas Gelişim's Takt Time – Cycle Time – Lead Time training conveys the definition, calculation method and interrelationship of the production pace aligned with customer demand (Takt Time), the cycle time of each process (Cycle Time) and the total delivery time from order to delivery (Lead Time) through hands-on examples.
The program shows step by step how available production time, breaks, customer demand, productivity, inventory time, transportation time and WIP (work-in-process) data are used on a real production flow. Participants thus learn not theory, but a calculation logic that can be applied directly to their own shop floors.
Benefits and Business Outcomes
- Reduces the risks of overproduction and underproduction by balancing production pace according to customer demand.
- Makes imbalances between processes (Cycle Time > Takt Time) visible, enabling bottlenecks to be identified quickly.
- Reveals the share of inventory, transportation and waiting times within lead time, laying the groundwork for reducing waste.
- Supports more accurate delivery time commitments and increased customer satisfaction.
- Enables data-driven decision-making in line balancing, capacity planning and workforce planning.
- Provides a common language for continuous improvement efforts by making productivity and WIP levels measurable.
Who Is It For?
