Compare Takt Time and Cycle Time

Demand determines takt; actual process speed determines cycle time. Check if capacity is aligned.

Workflow

  1. Confirm the grain: decide what one row should represent in the final result.
  2. Profile key uniqueness and missing data before matching or aggregating.
  3. Calculate the result on a small sample and reconcile it manually.
  4. Run the full dataset, review exceptions, then export the evidence you need.

What can go wrong

Most incorrect results come from the wrong key, one-to-many joins, mixed data types, hidden whitespace or aggregating at the wrong grain. Treat these checks as part of the analysis, not optional cleanup.
