Documentation

Definition

Specifies the time, which is available for the execution of operations in the line segment or takt concerned.

The system calculates the time available according to the following formula:

Time available = takt time * number of takts

Use

Using the times displayed you can make a detailed evaluation of the quality of the line balance. You can, for example, test the load percentage for:

  • Each segment for which you have entered the number of takts and the number of individual capacities.
  • Each takt of these line segments, if you have selected the indicator Line balancing-relevant for the takts of the line segments.

In the case of an overload or underload in a line segment or takt, you can move operations in the line balancing graphic if applicable, and change the number of takts and individual capacities.

Dependencies

  • Make sure that all operations of the rate routing are assigned to a takt or a line segment before you evaluate the execution times.
  • The Takt balancing at the bottom of the tab page Execution times is a measure of the quality of the line balance over the total production line.
