Documentation

Definition

Specifies the quantity of materials that you want to produce per time unit in a planning period.

Use

You can enter the planned production rate manually or determine it in line balancing.

  • If you enter the planned production rate manually in the line hierarchy, it is valid for all materials that you produce on the production line.
  • If you carry out line balancing for the line hierarchy, you can enter different rates for the different materials that you want to produce on the production line. The total of all production rates per material results in the planned production rate (model mix). You then use line balancing to determine a takt time within which all the materials, on average, can be processed in a takt, even if the operation times for the materials vary.

The takt time is the reciprocal of the planned production rate. It defines the interval of time between a material coming onto the production line and leaving.

Dependencies

The planned production rate should be lower than the maximum production rate, which is used to define the maximum capacity load utilization of the production line.

When you operate a production line with variable line speed, do not select the indicator Basis for Scheduling in the line hierarchy. Sequencing then simply uses the planned rate in takt-based scheduling. The reciprocal of the planned rate specifies how long a material can be processed in a takt and in which time intervals a material is completed.
