About this ebook
Do your changing workloads make you wonder if your business processes are still ‘fit for purpose’?
Do you want to find a method to guide you when you are looking to get more work completed during the working day?
Are you looking to achieve more tangible results from your business improvement projects?
Sometimes it can feel that your business improvement projects aren’t making enough of a change. There is a simple approach that can take the guesswork out of changing a process; it is called ‘Takt Time’.
By using some basic facts and figures you can determine exactly how much of a shift you need to make to your processes, and ultimately guide your thinking to create the right degree of change.
This short book, written by an experienced business consultant, gives you a step by step guide to determine your new business process design. By using takt time as the basis for this re-design you will identify the right amount of change required for your business.
Takt time is at the core of lean manufacturing improvements, and can be applied to any process in any sector. If you are outside of the manufacturing industry and have never heard of takt time then please read the case study in the book; this approach is applicable to all business sectors.
If you have never improved a business process before there is also an overview of how to go about doing this too.

Welcome
Imagine a business world where you have the right amount of resource working on the right activities at the right time. Imagine looking at your business and realising that you are the architect of a wonderful machine, a machine that handles your customer’s orders with unusually high levels of productivity and effectiveness.
What if you could take the guesswork out of designing your business processes and you knew exactly how good you had to get in order to get the performance you needed out of the business? What would that do for your business, your personal time and for everyone working in the business?
There is a simple approach and it is called ‘takt’.
Thank you for finding this book, I hope you find it to be a useful and practical tool in your quest to streamline and improve the performance of your business. The issue of takt time is one of those that crops up time and time again, but rarely rises into conversation for those who are new to the world of business process improvement.
The reason I have written this book is because I have observed numerous process improvement activities taking place within businesses that fail to yield any significant improvements to how the business works. If you are sometimes left wondering how much of a change you need to make when overhauling how your business works then applying takt time to your business processes will give you an answer that you can use to significantly improve the effectiveness of your business improvement projects.
This book is aimed at those of you who are stuck with your process improvements and aren’t sure how much you need to improve. Although
