Takt Time Calculator

Find the production pace to meet demand.

Takt time (min/unit) 2

Takt time (s/unit) 120

Formula: takt = available time ÷ demand

Step-by-step with your numbers:

1. Values used:

2. Available time = 480

3. Customer demand = 240 units

5. Takt time = Available time / Customer demand = 480 / 240 = 2min/unit

6. Takt time = 120s/unit

Did we solve your problem today?

Takt time is the rhythm production must hit to satisfy demand.

The math behind it

takt time = available production time ÷ customer demand (units).

480 min ÷ 240 units → 2 min/unit.

Cycle vs takt?

Keep cycle time at or below takt time to meet demand.
