Accepted Answer

Cycle time is the total time it takes to complete a process from start to finish.
Takt time is the rate at which a product must be produced to meet customer demand.
Cycle time can be calculated by dividing the total time taken by the total number of units produced.
Takt time is calculated by dividing the available production time by the customer demand.
For example, if a process takes 10 minutes to complete and 100 units are produced, the cycle time is 10 minutes per unit.
If the customer demand is 500 units per day and there are 8 hours of production time available, the takt time is 1.6 minutes per unit.
