Final answer:
Takt time is calculated by dividing the available production time by the customer demand. In this case, the available production time can be calculated by subtracting the break time from the total working hours per month. Given that the company manufactures 2340 units of Wagons every month and there are 26 normal working days per month with a 30-minute break, the Takt time can be calculated to be 50 minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
Takt time is calculated by dividing the available production time by the customer demand. In this case, the available production time can be calculated by subtracting the break time from the total working hours per month. Here's the step-by-step calculation:
- Total working hours per month = number of normal working days per month * number of hours worked per day
- Total break time per month = number of breaks per shift * break duration * number of working days per month
- Available production time = Total working hours per month - Total break time per month
- Takt time = Available production time / Customer demand
Given that the company manufactures 2340 units of Wagons every month, the customer demand is 2340 units per month. Let's assume that the number of normal working days per month is 26 and the break duration is 30 minutes. Substituting these values into the above calculation, we can find the Takt time.
Takt time = (26 * 8 * 60 - (1 * 30 * 26)) / 2340
Takt time = (12480 - 780) / 2340
Takt time = 116700 / 2340
Takt time = 50 minutes
