What is takt time?
Takt time is the pace at which a product must be completed to match customer demand. It is calculated as: Takt Time = Available Production Time ÷ Customer Demand. Producing faster than takt time builds excess inventory; producing slower creates a bottleneck and missed demand.
This is a core lean manufacturing metric used to balance production lines and staff work cells so output matches what customers actually need.
