Takt Time in Manufacturing

ATS

Share One of the tenets of lean manufacturing is that goods should flow like water through production. That flow is smoothed by determining the takt time and configuring manufacturing to achieve it. This blog explains takt time in manufacturing. In this sense, takt time creates the “pull” that characterizes lean manufacturing.

Understanding Total Effective Equipment Performance (TEEP)

ATS

Like Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), TEEP includes losses resulting from machines running at less than 100% of full speed, and losses due to quality problems. For investigating those though, OEE is sufficient. Why is TEEP important for manufacturing? Contact us for more information.
