  2. Takt time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takt_time

    Takt time, or simply takt, is a manufacturing term to describe the required product assembly duration that is needed to match the demand.Often confused with cycle time, takt time is a tool used to design work and it measures the average time interval between the start of production of one unit and the start of production of the next unit when items are produced sequentially.

  3. Standard time (manufacturing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_time_(manufacturing)

    In industrial engineering, the standard time is the time required by an average skilled operator, working at a normal pace, to perform a specified task using a prescribed method. [1] It includes appropriate allowances to allow the person to recover from fatigue and, where necessary, an additional allowance to cover contingent elements which may ...

  4. Turnaround time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turnaround_time

    Lead Time vs Turnaround Time: Lead Time is the amount of time, defined by the supplier or service provider, that is required to meet a customer request or demand. [5] Lead-time is basically the time gap between the order placed by the customer and the time when the customer get the final delivery, on the other hand the Turnaround Time is in order to get a job done and deliver the output, once ...

  5. Demand flow technology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demand_Flow_Technology

    At the process level, this ratio is known as operational cycle-time. Takt time is typically used to calculate the "line design" or number and disposition of physical resources required to produce a given mix and volume of products that changes on a daily basis according to customer demand.

  6. Mean time between failures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_time_between_failures

    The difference ("down time" minus "up time") is the amount of time it was operating between these two events. By referring to the figure above, the MTBF of a component is the sum of the lengths of the operational periods divided by the number of observed failures:

  7. Predetermined motion time system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predetermined_motion_time...

    Most predetermined motion time systems (MTM and MOST) use time measurement units (TMU) instead of seconds for measuring time. One TMU is defined to be 0.00001 hours, or 0.036 seconds according to MTM100 and 0.0000083 hours, or 0.030 seconds according to BS100. [1] These smaller units allow for more accurate calculations without the use of decimals.

  8. Operations management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operations_management

    The calculation of the time-line (bottom) usually involves using Little's law to derive lead time from stock levels and takt time. In Toyota the TPS represented more of a philosophy of production than a set of specific lean tools, the latter would include: SMED: a method for reducing changeover times

  9. Continuous-flow manufacturing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous-flow_manufacturing

    Continuous-flow manufacturing, or repetitive-flow manufacturing, is an approach to discrete manufacturing that contrasts with batch production.It is associated with a just-in-time and kanban production approach, and calls for an ongoing examination and improvement efforts which ultimately requires integration of all elements of the production system.
