Question

Compute the takt time for a system where the total time per shift is 370 minutes, there is one shift, and workers are given 3 11-minute breaks and 35 minutes for lunch. Daily demand is 342 units. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Answer 1

Answer:

Talk time= 0.88 minutes.

Explanation:

The talk time is the time that is used by employees talking on one phone call. This is calculated by getting the time spent on calls in a day. The call time is now divided by the daily demand of calls.

In the given instance there is only one shift of 370 minutes.

Break given is 3*11= 33 minutes

Lunch break is 35 minutes.

So remaining time= 370-33-35= 302 minutes.

Talk time = Time per shift/Daily demand

Talk time= 302/342

Talk time= 0.883 minutes.
