About this metric
What is it?
How many seconds you must take to make one unit to exactly meet customer demand — your production rhythm.
How is it calculated?
Takt time = available working time / customer demand.
How to interpret it?
If your cycle time exceeds takt you can't meet demand; if far below, you risk overproduction and inventory.
How to improve it?
Balance the line to bring cycle time close to takt, improve the bottleneck, and level demand (heijunka).
