Pitch Time Calculation in Manufacturing
Pitch time helps production teams maintain stable output rhythm on the floor.
Bangladesh-focused guide with practical calculation workflow.
Step-by-Step Explanation
- Measure available production time
- Set required output target
- Compute minutes per unit batch
Formula Used
- Pitch time = available production time / target output
Example Calculation
- 420 minutes available and target 700 units -> pitch time 0.6 min/unit.
Common Mistakes
- Using theoretical time only
- Not revising pitch after demand change
FAQ
- Is pitch same as takt? No, pitch is line rhythm and takt is demand rhythm.
- Can pitch be set by batch? Yes.
