Takt Image

Visual representation of the pace at which work must advance through a process to meet customer demand.

Examples

01The takt image above the assembly line moves a light bar along the line every 90 seconds, so everyone can see whether their unit is on pace.
02Operators are trained to read the takt image, and a station that falls behind the light pulls the andon instead of rushing.
03When customer demand rises and takt drops to 80 seconds, the takt image is reset and work content is rebalanced to match it.
