Definition

Takts are the processing stations in a production line. They are the spatial area that the material passes through in the predefined minimum takt time, where it is processed.

Use

You define the length of the production line by the number of takts. Alongside the rates and takt times, the number of takts that a material has to pass through is a further parameter for takt-based scheduling.

You can define the number of takts in the line hierarchy for a line segment. Since the number of takts on the production line must be uniform, you can only enter it in the branches of the line hierarchy (from the uppermost level downwards) on one level.

The number of takts on the lowermost level of the hierarchy gives you the number of takts on the uppermost level.
