Understand what Takt time is. Takt time is the pace of production (E.g in Manufacturing one piece every minute) that aligns production with customer demand. In simple terms, it is how fast you need to manufacture products in order to fill your customer demand. Takt time calculation=Available time / customer demand. For example, if a customer requires 100 bulbs a day, the Takt time is 8 hrs /100. 8 hrs is the working time in your 9 hours working day (so you need to exclude your breaks, meetings etc) to mention the available time(numerator). This means a bulb to be completed every 4.8 minutes.
Calculate your demand. How much time does your end-user or customer typically want every day/week/month?
Calculate your available time. Exclude your breaks, meeting times, and other unavailable time.
Calculate your Takt time. This is available time/demand. Divide your available time by the demand time.
Compare your cycle time against Takt time using any chart. It is recommended to plot a Bar chart.
Draw a value stream mapping and there you can provide the Takt time at each activity step.
