Not to be pointed, I was confused on one point. Shouldn’t the Green posty note represent Customer Value-Added steps? The article shows: •Green post-it notes = Non Value Added (or CVA) activities.

Henry, Great Question … TAKT time (or your case it is called PITCH) could be the available time in the month / the number of policies to renew that month. You could break down to individual steps in policy renewal. This would help you to manage the pace to a more granular level.

I am an insurance broker. I have to do monthly insurance policy renewals for example. The takt time would be available time in the month / the number of policies to renew that month?

Attentive to your prompt response. Thank in advance.

Sreekanth, Thank you for your comment. The TAKT time = Operating Time per Shift / Demand per Shift. Your TAKT time = Operating Time per Shift (420 minutes)/ Demand per Shift (30) = 14 Minutes per piece. Your Process Cycle Time should average 14 minutes per piece to meet demand. As far as Value Added Time, we can’t determine with the information that is given. This is what the VSM data is for. I hope this helps.
