Takt time can be defined as the maximum time allowed to produce a product in order to meet demand. It is derived from the German word taktzeit which translates to clock cycle. There is a logic therefore to setting the pace of production flow to this takt time. Product flow is expected to fall within a pace that is less than or equal to the takt time. In a
lean manufacturing environment, the pace time is set equal to the takt time.
