TAKT Time

TAKT time is the time required to produce a single component or an entire product based on customer demand. It matches the pace of production to the pace of sales. TAKT time is the measure used to allocate work efficiently. Line balancing seeks to adjust station workloads so that each operator emulates TAKT time, thereby reaching a pace of production that is in sync with customer demand.
