Question

Each employee takes two 8 minute rest breaks and one 25 lunch break each shift. The company has 2 shifts per work day each with 4 employees. Compute the takt time if the company is planning to produce 1325 JU-4s.

Answer 1

The appropriate answer is "
`0.657 \ mins/JU-4s`".

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Demand,

= 1325 JU-4s

1 day = 2 shifts

Assuming a shift is of 8 hours duration.

then,

`1 \ shift = (8* 60)-(20+25)`

`=480-45`

`=435 \ mins`

Total day mins,

=
`435* 2`

=
`870 \ mins`

hence,

The average throughput rate will be:

=
`(870 \ mins)/(1325 \ JU-4s)`

=
`0.657 \ mins/JU-4s`
