Takt Time Calculator
Match your production pace to customer demand using available production time and required units.
Calculate takt time →Practical improvement starts here
Make better work.
Every single day.
A straightforward toolkit for manufacturing teams. Calculate takt time and OEE, run a 5S audit, spot waste, and turn improvement ideas into action.
Lean manufacturing toolkit
Simple tools built for the shop floor and continuous improvement teams.
OEE Calculator
Estimate Overall Equipment Effectiveness from availability, performance, and quality.
Calculate OEE →5S Workplace Audit
Review Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain with a quick checklist.
Start an audit →Waste Walk
Look for the eight wastes: defects, overproduction, waiting, unused talent, transport, inventory, motion, and extra-processing.
Run a waste walk →Kaizen Idea Tracker
Capture an improvement idea, the problem it solves, and the next action to test it.
Record an idea →Value Stream Mapping
Map material and information flow to reveal queues, bottlenecks, and opportunities to improve lead time.

Takt time calculator
Takt time = net available production time ÷ customer demand.
Result3.50 minutes per unitAvailable net time: 420 minutes.
OEE calculator
OEE = Availability × Performance × Quality. Enter each percentage from 0 to 100.
Result83.8% OEEBased on the values entered above.
OEE benchmarks depend on equipment, process, and operating conditions; use your site's target and baseline for context.
5S workplace audit
Check each item that is currently in place in the work area.
Audit score: 0 of 10 items (0%)
This checklist is a starter template. Adapt it to your site's safety, quality, and operating standards.

Value stream mapping: quick start
See the whole flow before optimizing individual steps.
1. Choose a product family
Follow one representative product or service through the process from request to delivery.
2. Walk the actual process
Capture process steps, cycle time, changeover time, uptime, WIP, and information flow at the workplace.
3. Identify the gap
Compare lead time and processing time. Mark queues, rework loops, bottlenecks, and unclear handoffs.
4. Design a future state
Set a clear improvement goal and consider flow, pull, smaller batches, and reliable standard work.
5. Build an action plan
Assign owners, due dates, and measurable outcomes for each improvement experiment.
6. Review and learn
Check results at the gemba, update the map, and make successful changes part of standard work.
Lean tools support structured problem-solving; always follow your organization's safety, quality, and regulatory requirements.
