Question

Accepted Answer

Cycle time is the total time to complete a process, while takt time is the available time per unit to meet customer demand.

Cycle time is the time it takes to complete one cycle of a process, including both value-added and non-value-added activities.
Takt time is the available time per unit to meet customer demand, calculated by dividing the available production time by the customer demand.
Cycle time can be measured using a stopwatch or by analyzing historical data.
Takt time helps in determining the required production rate to meet customer demand.
For example, if the cycle time to assemble a product is 10 minutes and the takt time is 5 minutes, it means two units need to be produced every 5 minutes to meet customer demand.
