This data sheet for value stream mapping travels to the line with you: one row per process step, using the same measurement instructions Taktane itself relies on.

Once filled in, you enter the numbers into a project — Taktane then calculates lead time, takt time and process cycle efficiency live.

Prefer trying the notation on screen first? The demo has the same value stream already filled in.

Take it to the line, fill it in, then enter it in Taktane. One row per station, in the order the part passes through them.

How to measure

Cycle time:: the time one piece actually takes at this station — timed part to part, without the waiting before or after. Not the time for a whole batch.
Changeover:: from the last good part of the old variant to the first good part of the new one. Enter 0 where there is no changeover.
OEE:: the share of planned time in which the station really produces good parts. From the machine report, otherwise estimated — entering 100 % means “no losses known”.
Operators:: how many people work at this station at the same time.
Inventory after:: everything waiting behind this station for the next one — on pallets, on racks, in the buffer store. Count it, do not estimate: this number drives the lead time.
