Formula

The current manner in which Takt Time is calculated does not take into account the operational availability of the process. Although the calculation that is presented here is the correct "universally used" formula, I think that Takt Time should be calculated thus:

Takt Time =(standard work time*Process operational availability (Ao))/Customer demand

With "Standard Work Time" being the production with with all of the breaks and cleaning and such taken out. Process Operation Availability being the probability of the systems being operational (Operational Availability (Ao) = MTBM/MTBM+MDT

     MTBM = Mean Time Between Maintenance
     MDT = Mean Down Time

References? There seems to be a lack of references in this article (especially where it goes into the detail of work packages in the lower sections) - do we need some? Shanzu (talk) 10:24, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

How does Taht relate to Drumn in the Drum-Buffer-Rope system? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.64.78.9 (talk) 15:19, 9 June 2012 (UTC) Great definition of Takt time, now i have a good idea of what it is.... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.113.24.1 (talk) 15:22, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

Problem with proposed formula: Takt time appears as a fraction between two terms, not resulting in a "time" figure. In the example given, Takt Time = 400mn/(400 unit = 1 mn/unit

That is a rate, not a time... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.108.120.29 (talk) 15:39, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
