Polar containers makes high-end coolers for camping. the total task time needed to make a cooler is 310 seconds, with the longest individual task taking 80 seconds. polar containers would like to set up a line capable of producing 30 coolers per 7-hour day. what is the takt time? what is the maximum output per day? (hint: consider the longest individual task time.)

TAKT time: 840 seconds

maximum output:  315 coolers.

Explanation:

The takt time refers to matching the production pace with the demand

To produce 30 coolers per 7-hours day we need an outpot of:

7 hours x 60 minutes x 60 seconds = 25,200

output of 30 coolers

takt: 25,200 / 30 = 840 seconds

producing a cooler every 840 seconds is the takt time.

Maximum output:

If the company does several cooler in parallel it will have a bottle neck in the longest individual task so, this time determinates the maximum output.

25,200 second of working time available

80 second longest task to complete a cooler:

25,200 / 80 = 315 coolers.
