Bearings, Gears & Power Transmission worked example

End-of-Line Test Takt with net available production time of 230 min / shift: a worked example

Suppose net available production time falls to 230 min / shift. This page works the full calculation at that level so you can see exactly which result moves and by how much. Find the takt time for Bearings, Gears & Power Transmission — the pace, in seconds per unit, that production must hold to exactly meet customer demand.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Net available production time: 230 min / shift (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 450)
  • Customer demand: 60 units / shift (held at the documented default)
  • Shifts per day: 2 shifts (held at the documented default)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Takt time = net available production time × 60 ÷ customer demand.
  • Takt time works out to 230 sec / unit at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • Required rate works out to 15.65 units / hr at these inputs.
  • Available time / day works out to 460 min at these inputs.
  • Demand / day works out to 120 units at these inputs.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where net available production time sits at 450 min / shift and the headline result is 450 sec / unit, this scenario comes in 48.89% below the baseline at 230 sec / unit.
  • It computes takt time in seconds per unit from net available production time and customer demand, then converts that takt into a required test rate in units per hour. When the numbers land here, the stressed input is the lever to work; the walkthrough above shows exactly how much each output recovers as it climbs back toward the baseline.

Results at a glance

  • Takt time: 230 sec / unit (headline result)
  • Required rate: 15.65 units / hr
  • Available time / day: 460 min
  • Demand / day: 120 units
