In [[Lean Six Sigma|Lean]], '''TAKT Time''' is the rate at which a finished [[Product|product]] needs to be completed in order to meet [[Customer|customer]] [[Demand|demand]]. If a company has a takt time of five minutes, that means every five minutes a complete product, assembly or machine is produced off the line because on average a customer is buying a finished product every five minutes. The sell rate – every two hours, two days or two weeks – is the takt time.<ref>Definition - What does TAKT Time Mean? [https://www.isixsigma.com/dictionary/takt-time/ ISixSigma]</ref>

 == Systematic Approah to Developing TAKT Time<ref>The 5-Step Approach to Developing TAKT Time [https://primaned.be/en/what-is-takt-time/ Primaned]</ref> ==
-Since defining takt is demand based, you need to know how fast your work should flow to meet our deadlines. This imposes the biggest challenge for project managers and planning engineers especially if they are aiming to create an ‘’ideal’’ [[Workflow|workflow]] pace for every trade in the project that is waste-free.
+Since defining takt is demand based, you need to know how fast your work should flow to meet our deadlines. This imposes the biggest challenge for project managers and planning engineers especially if they are aiming to create an ‘’ideal’’ workflow pace for every trade in the project that is waste-free.
 Since, if some trades may progress faster than takt, this would lead to excess buffers or unnecessary inventories and thus, waste. Nevertheless, if some trade’s workflow moves slower than takt, those trades will take a longer time to finish which will consequently delay their successor activities. Hence, it is essential to use a systematic approach that helsp to develop TAKT and avoid such situations as much as possible.

-*Step 1: Gathering [[data]]: Prior to execution you need to know what and where exactly the work is to be done, how many trades are involved, and in what sequence these trades can proceed. This is a vital exercise since you will need the input of the people on the job (the last planners). The goal is to avoid pushing a schedule that trades should fulfil and rather to pull a preferred plan from those trades. A good start can be asking each trade what they need to finish their task, and you should encourage any comment or suggestion. At the end, you need to develop a workable flow that fits every trade’s expectations, leading to reduced task variability and ultimately a continuous workflow

 *Step 2: Define your zones: Information from step one can be used to divide your project into zones. Zones are the physical areas where trades operate, and ideally the zones should be defined in such a way that all trades working in a specific zone take the same amount of time to complete their tasks in that zone.
-*Step 3: Sequence the trades: Now that you defined your zones, you are better able to pull the sequence of trades by arranging coordination meetings. You need the collective input of those trades to collaboratively plan which trade goes first due to necessity or optimality. At that stage, you can establish an agreed [[methodology]] of how work can flow between the various trades.

You should be on the lookout for bottleneck trade activities that need to go faster or slower to match your required takt or even you might want to readjust your zones. Prefabrication?

Nonetheless, activity first trails are essential to determine the soundness of your planned takt time. Hence, you should continuously track progress to proactively note deviations from the desired takt time and take proper control actions.

+Once a Takt System is implemented there are a number of benefits:
 *The product moves along a line, so bottlenecks (stations that need more time than planned) are easily identified when the product does not move on in time.
 *Correspondingly, stations that don't operate reliably (suffer frequent breakdown, etc.) are easily identified.
 *The takt leaves only a certain amount of time to perform the actual value added work. Therefore, there is a strong motivation to get rid of all non value-adding tasks (like machine set-up, gathering of tools, transporting products, etc.)
-*Workers and machines perform sets of similar tasks, so they don't have to adapt to new processes every day, increasing their [[productivity]].

+Downsides of Takt time organization include:
 *When customer demand rises so much that takt time has to come down, quite a few tasks have to be either reorganized to take even less time to fit into the shorter takt time, or they have to be split up between two stations (which means another station has to be squeezed into the line and workers have to adapt to the new setup)
 *When one station in the line breaks down for whatever reason the whole line comes to a grinding halt, unless there are buffer capacities for preceding stations to get rid of their products and following stations to feed from. A built-in buffer of three to five percent downtime allows needed adjustments or recovery from failures.
-*Short takt time can put considerable stress on the "moving parts" of a production system or subsystem. In automated systems/subsystems, increased mechanical stress increases the likelihood of breakdown, and in non-automated systems/subsystems, personnel face both increased physical stress (which increases the [[risk]] of repetitive motion (also "stress or "strain") injury), intensified emotional stress, and lowered motivation, sometimes to the point of increased absenteeism.

 *Tasks have to be leveled to make sure tasks don't bulk in front of certain stations due to peaks in workload. This decreases the flexibility of the system as a whole.
 *The concept of takt time doesn’t account for human factors such as an operator needing an unexpected bathroom break or a brief rest period between units (especially for processes involving significant physical labor). In practice, this means that the production processes must be realistically capable of operation above peak takt and demand must be leveled in order to avoid wasted line capacity

 *Customer demand - this relates to the number of units the customer requires each day. To keep the maths simple, we will assume this customer designs and sells a range of electro-mechanical industrial printers and requires their assembly partner to produce 100 of these a day.
 *Takt time - if we take our available production time (410 minutes) and divide that by our customer demand (100), the takt time equates to 4.1 minutes or 246 seconds.
