    How do we calculate Takt Time?

    • The time it takes to build 100 cars.

    • Total production time available divided by total customer requirements.

    • The time it takes from start of pitch to pokeyoke alarm.

    • Total available production time.

    Correct Answer
    A. Total production time available divided by total customer requirements.
    Explanation
    Takt time is calculated by dividing the total production time available by the total customer requirements. This calculation helps determine the rate at which products need to be produced in order to meet customer demand. By dividing the available time by the customer requirements, a company can determine how frequently a product needs to be produced in order to keep up with demand and maintain a steady production flow.

    What is the purpose of standardized work?

    • To build in quality at each process.

    • To avoid overproduction.

    • To produce at lowest cost.

    • To improve operations (Kaizen)

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    Standardized work serves multiple purposes in a production process.
