I am confused over takt time, cycle time and total cycle time.
For example, if I have 4 steps to complete one signle production item output, and each step takes :
step 1 : 5 sec (hand insertion)
step 2 : 0.8 sec ( SMT )
step 3 : 8 sec ( 3 machines in series, each machine has 2 sec, 8 sec, 5 sec )
step 4 : 2 sec (AOI)
Can I say the cycle time is 8 sec, while the total cycle time is 15.8 sec ( 5+0.8+8+2 ), and takt time is 5/0.8/8/2 for each step ?
Thanks.
