Sprinkman Inc., a fictional supplier of instrument gauge cluster housings, is planning to use a Kanban control system to control material flow. The first step in this process is to calculate the takt time—the time it takes to produce an item (in this case housing). Given the following information, compute the takt time per house (hint: Compute in seconds the net production time available per day):
Working shifts per day = 2
Hours per shift = 8
Break time per shift = 30 minutes
Lunch break = 30 minutes
Demand for housings per day = 1,200 units
