JIT/ Continuous Flow / Takt time / Heijunka: A C&A plant makes only two flavors of ice cream– chocolate and vanilla. Each gallon is produced and shipped in discrete containers. The demand for the ice cream (in gallons) is given as follow: Week
Day Chocolate Vanilla
1 20 40
2 60 100
3 30 30
4 50 70
5 10 100

C&A operates 8 hours a day and 5 days a week. Calculate the takt time for this production system; explain how would C&A schedule the production of its ice cream to level demand over the week (i. e., how many gallons of each ice cream flavor would you make in a repeating cycle)?
