• Key Concepts: 
  Takt load is a term used in SAP PP-FLW Flow Manufacturing. It is the amount of production that needs to be completed in a given period of time in order to meet customer demand. It is calculated by dividing the total customer demand by the available production time. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use takt load, you must first calculate the total customer demand and available production time. Once these values are known, you can then divide the total customer demand by the available production time to calculate the takt load. This value can then be used to determine how much production needs to be completed in a given period of time in order to meet customer demand.
