At previous we have already learn the basic knowledge about TACT TIME and CYCLE TIME.
Now we will discuss further about how to use T/T and C/T to analyze production line performance
at first , we must have present Cycle Time data of our production line.For example : Total Cycle time of molding process C/T = 25 sec/pc
Time available per day for example = 7 hrs per day
Customer order ,for example 2000 pcs/day, its mean T/T = 12.6 sec/pc
From above data C/T and T/T , what we can conclude about our molding production line ? base on C/T data above, can we meet customer order ?
The answer is : WE CAN MEET CUSTOMER ORDER 200 pcs product per DAY
Because….. our molding capacity need 25 second to produce 1 piece product. Mean while base on customer order, we must produce 12.6 second for 1 piece product. it mean, our molding capacity only 50% than customer order.
If we find condition like above sample, we must immediately take action. The action plan for example :
we must do improvement in our molding process in order that we can reduce cycle time become same with Tact Time
detail improvement plan will be discussed at next posting
