Motor Assembly Takt Time with available assembly time of 250 min: a worked example

Push available assembly time up to 250 min and the picture changes. This example computes every intermediate figure at that operating point. Use it when checking whether motor assembly cells, operators, fixtures, and end-of-line test can meet demand at the required pace.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Available assembly time: 250 min (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 100)
  • Required motor demand: 4 motors (unchanged)
  • Conversion or efficiency factor: 1 x (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Motor assembly takt time = available assembly time ÷ required motor demand × conversion or efficiency factor) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 62.5 min / motor for motor assembly takt time, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 62.5 value for base takt time.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 1 x for conversion or efficiency factor.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 4 value for required motor demand.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where available assembly time sits at 100 min and the headline result is 25 min / motor, this scenario comes in 150% above the baseline at 62.5 min / motor.
  • It computes takt time in minutes per motor by dividing available assembly time by required demand, then applying a conversion or efficiency factor. The value of this scenario is the size of the gap it exposes: that gap, priced out over a year, is the budget you can justify spending to close it.
