Final answer:

If the cycle time is less than the takt time, there is excess time available.

Step-by-step explanation:

Takt time is a term used in lean manufacturing to determine the cycle time required to meet the demand. In this case, takt time is the time required to make 92 burritos per hour.

To calculate takt time, divide the available time by the desired number of units. If the cycle time is less than the takt time, there is excess time available. If the cycle time is more than the takt time, there is not enough time to meet the demand.

In this case, if the cycle time required to make 92 burritos per hour is less than or equal to 60 minutes, then there is excess time available.

If the cycle time is greater than 60 minutes, then there is not enough time to meet the demand and adjustments would need to be made.
