Takt Time Calculator

Balance customer demand against available shift time, then compare takt time to your actual cycle time visually.

Demand & shift

Available time and required pace.

Takt vs cycle

Compare required pace to actual line speed.

Cycle vs takt

Takt time (60.0 s)Target pace

Actual cycle (58 s)Meets demand

Line pace meets customer demand

How it works: Takt time = available production time ÷ customer demand. If actual cycle time exceeds takt, the line cannot meet demand without overtime or additional capacity.
