Documentation

Definition

Specifies the number of takts of the object concerned in the line structure. This can be a line segment, a line or a line network.

A takt is a processing station on the production line. A material passes through the takts of the line and remains in each takt for the takt time, to be processed.

Example

The takt time is the reciprocal of the rate. If you produce with a rate of 6 pieces per hour, the takt time is 10 minutes. A material can be processed for 10 minutes in each takt.

Use

You can divide a line over as many hierarchy levels as you wish and arrange the line segments in each hierarchy level in a network.

You define the number of takts on the lowest hierarchy level of the line segments. On the upper levels of the line hierarchy, the system displays the number of takts in summarized form. Here, it does not count all the takts of the line segment, but calculates the longest (critical) path through the network of the line segments. You maintain the sequence of the line elements on every hierarchy level in Register Sequence in order for the system to calculate the longest path.

Dependencies

Like the takt times, the number of takts is a parameter in takt-based scheduling.
