Operator balance

Required output is 18 bodies a shift, and available time is 450 minutes, so takt is 25 minutes. The posted seat-face cycle is 46 minutes: load 5, rough cut 16, finish cut 11, deburr 6, in-cell check 4, and mark the rev 4. The finish cut alone is 11 minutes, so another person cannot split it. When the traveler rev is blank, the observed cycle is 58 because Devon walks for 12 minutes the standard does not include.

What it makes visible

The posted 46 minutes stacked against a takt of 25, and the observed 58 when the rev is blank.

When it is useful

When someone hopes another person can split the work and catch the takt.

Who uses it

Devon Cho, cell lead on cell 2.

What it takes

The six posted elements and their minutes, the takt, and the observed cycle.

What it leaves

A posted cycle of 46 against a takt of 25. The finish cut is 11 minutes, so another person cannot split it. The observed cycle is 58.

The underlying record

Devon Cho's posted seat-face minutes, the takt for eighteen bodies a shift, and the walk that appears only when the traveler rev is blank are the same cycle the value stream and the standard work sheet carry.
