The author goes to the trouble of using the phrase "takt time" and linking to its definition but then misuses it. Assuming non-stop operations and 1 million units a day, the takt time (average time between unit starts) is about 85ms, not 3-4 minutes. Assuming a cycle time for interior milling of 240s, the difference is a factor of about 3000, which matches the estimate for the number of milling machines operating in parallel.
- gak_pdx 10y agoYou caught me! Confession? I had a better surrounding blurb explaining takt time, because people who read my (once a year) posts get off on the nerdery, but it was clunky, so I sort of inaccurately dropped it in with a link to the real definition to let people explore the term on their own.
