Takt time calculator

Takt time is the heartbeat of your production line: the maximum time you can spend on each unit to satisfy demand. Enter your numbers below for an instant result.

What is takt time?

Takt time (from the German word Takt, meaning beat or pulse) defines the production rate required to meet customer demand. It is the central metric of lean and JIT manufacturing.

If your cycle time exceeds your takt time, you will fall behind demand. If it is significantly shorter, you may have excess capacity or unevenness in your line.

Takt time formula

Formula
Takt Time = Net Production Time ÷ Customer Demand
Net Production Time: shift time minus breaks
Customer Demand: units required in that period
Result: minutes (or seconds) per unit
