Question

Compute the takt time for a service system that intended to perform a standardized service. The system will have a total work time of 358 minutes per day, two 19-minute breaks, and an hour for lunch. The service system must process 88 jobs a day. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Takt time minutes per cycle

Answer 1

2.95 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

For computing the takt time minutes per cycle, first we have to determine the available time which is shown below:

= Total work time - break time

= 358 minutes - 98 minutes

= 260 minutes

The 98 minutes is come from

2 × 19 minutes = 38 minutes

1 hour lunch = 60 minutes

Total break time = 98 minutes

Now the takt time minutes per cycle would be

= Total available time ÷ number of jobs in a day

= 260 minutes ÷ 88 jobs

= 2.95 minutes
