- Shift duration (min)
- 480
- Planned excluded breaks (min)
- 60
- Demand for good units (units)
- 140
- Net available production time (min)
- 420
- Target takt time (min/good unit)
- 3
- Required good throughput (units/hour)
- 20
Try another scenario
- Shift duration (min)
- 480
- Planned excluded breaks (min)
- 60
- Demand for good units (units)
- 210
- Net available production time (min)
- 420
- Target takt time (min/good unit)
- 2
- Required good throughput (units/hour)
- 30
Calculation method
Calculation method
Net available production time (min)
shift-breaks.
Target takt time (min/good unit)
(shift-breaks)/demand.
Required good throughput (units/hour)
demand/(netMinutes/60).
Symbols and units
- a
- Shift duration (min)
- b
- Planned excluded breaks (min)
- c
- Demand for good units (units)
Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.
Assumptions & limits
Assumptions & limits
- Demand pacing only, excluding explicitly supplied breaks. No allowance for scrap, stoppages or worker staffing is assumed. Supported limits: shift>breaks>=0; demand integer>0.
