I have used this formula and variations of it successfully but you know me... always open to new ideas. I have also seen engineers (not trained in Lean) setup SWIP the old fashioned way... by simply starting with some WIP at each work station and removing it ever so slowly until things were running smoothly. I don't really promote this methid but it worked and at the end of the day Lean and Six Sigma are about progress. As Mr. Womack often says, "just do it!" I look forward to it Jon.

I will write more about it at the Gemba blog when I have the time. The method for calculating SWIP is actually slightly more complicated than this.

While it can't always be applied with the same rigour in office areas due to the level of interruptions and unpredictability of task sizes, in broad terms it is a useful concept for balancing demand and supply. I also find that takt time is most useful for basic cells which have minimal setups, single routing, identical product work times. Implementation at low volume, high variety production facilities is much more complicated.<br /><br />Rob<br />www.qualityhero.co.uk (six sigma)<br />www.63buckets.co.uk (lean) I find that Takt Time is not just for production areas.
