Summary Introduction
To determine: Takt time if match capacity and demand.
Introduction: Takt refers to “musical meter” or “pulse” in German. Takt time is the process duration required in a production system to counterpart the velocity of manufacturing to the request rate. It is once in a while said to be the pulse of a lean production system. It is the greatest measure of time in which an item should be delivered with a specific end goal to fulfill client request.

What cycle time would match capacity and demand if demand is 120 units a day, there are twoshifts of 480 minutes each, and workers are given three half-hour breaks during each shift, one ofwhich is for lunch or dinner?
A production line has three stations and the first station can process a unit in 10 minutes. The second station has two identical machines, each of which can process a unit in 12 minutes. The third station can process a unit in 8 minutes.
What is the hourly capacity of this production line?
Students are going through a three-step process to obtain their ID cards. Each student will spend 2 minutes at the registration
desk before going to one of three cashiers to pay a fee for the ID card. After that, he/she will visit one of four ID processing
stations to have his/her picture taken and ID card printed. Visits to the cashier and ID processing station take 10 and 20
minutes respectively. If the demand rate is 0.5 student per minute, how long does it take to process 20 students, assuming
the system is full?
Multiple Choice
100 minutes
127 minutes

The average sale per order is $12.00. A proposal has been made to add two additional workers and divide the tasks among the three. One will take orders, the second will assemble them, and the third will act as a cashier. With this system, it is estimated that 120 cars per hour can be serviced. Use productivity arguments to recommend whether or not to change the current system. Hint: Productivity = revenue/labor dollararrow_forward
