Documentation

Definition

Gives the relationship in percentages of the time occupied to the time available of the line segment or takt.

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.
