Lean Takt Time

This tool is used to calculate the rate of customer demand - similar to a speedometer. To complete the template, follow these steps:

1. Enter Days/Year, Hours/Day, Breaks (min) and Cleanup Time (min) in rows 3 and 4.
2. Next, enter Annual Demand in Row 6.
3. Finally, enter Cycle Time/Operator in Row 10.
4. Review Lean Takt Time Chart for demand results:

Non-Value Added Time

To complete the template, follow these steps:

1. Enter total Value Added Time in cell B2.
2. Next, enter total Lead Time (Non-Value Added) in cell B3.
3. Analyze NVA based on the graph and its numerical results.
4. If NVA is greater than 10% of your cycle time, revise the process to eliminate delay:
