A process makes two products. A and B. and operates 5 days per week. 8 hours per day. Demand for the two products for the next week is as follows:
Day 1: A: 20; B:26
Day 2: A: 10: B:15
Day 3: A: 20; B:19
Day 4: A: 18; B:20
Day 5: A: 12; B: 20
 
What is the takt time of the process? What would a level production schedule look like?

Solutions

Expert Solution

Takt time = Available time / Rate of Customer demand

Available time = 5 days per week * 8 hours per day

= 40 hours

Demand for A = 80 units

Demand for B = 100 units

Total demand = 180 units

Takt time = 40 / 180 = 0.22 hours/unit
