How to Use This Calculator
- List all workstation tasks with their cycle times in seconds.
- Enter the required takt time (customer demand rate) in seconds.
- Review the line balance efficiency percentage and idle time per station.
- Redistribute tasks to workstations to minimize the number of stations while meeting takt time.
- Target a line balance efficiency above 85% — below 75% indicates significant rebalancing opportunity.
