What is operative takt time in SAP PP-FLW - Flow Manufacturing?

SAP Term: operative takt time

• Component: PP-FLW

• Component Name: Flow Manufacturing

• Description: A control parameter for takt-based scheduling in Sequencing, which you can define for the production line. Analogically to the planned takt time, the operative takt time is the time interval in which a material comes onto the production line for processing and the processed material subsequently leaves the line.

  How to use it: 
  Operative takt time can be used to measure the efficiency of a production process. It can also be used to identify areas where improvements can be made in order to increase productivity. In SAP PP-FLW Flow Manufacturing, operative takt time can be calculated by entering the total production time and number of units produced into the system. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When calculating operative takt time, it is important to take into account any delays or stoppages that may have occurred during the production process. This will ensure that an accurate calculation is made and that any potential areas for improvement are identified. 
  
  Related Information: 
  Operative takt time is closely related to cycle time, which is the total amount of time it takes to complete one cycle of a production process. Cycle time can be used in conjunction with operative takt time to measure and improve the efficiency of a production process.
