Tact system (English spelling)

Japanese: タクトシステム(英語表記)tact system
Tact system (English spelling)
A method of assembly line production. In assembly line production, the conveyor stops only during processing time, as opposed to a conveyor system in which the conveyor moves constantly. All processes start and finish at the same time, and the finished products move to the next process all at once. This method is used when processing work is the main task while the conveyor is stopped, and it is premised on complete synchronization of the processes. This method was first used by Germany in the assembly of aircraft during World War II when they planned to mass-produce aircraft, and it was named the takt system because the time intervals are as precise as a conductor waving a baton in a musical performance. It is mainly used for assembly work, and is also used in Japan for vehicle assembly and radio set assembly.

Japanese:
流れ作業の一方式。流れ作業で,コンベヤが絶えず流動するコンベヤシステムに対し,加工時間だけコンベヤが停止する律動方式。全工程が同時に作業にかかり,同時に終って,加工物は一斉に次の工程に移動するので,コンベヤ停止中の加工作業が主体となる場合に採用され,工程の完全な同期化が前提となる。ドイツが第2次世界大戦中,航空機の多量生産を計画したとき,機体の組立作業に初めて用いた方式で,その時間的間隔が,音楽演奏の指揮者が指揮棒を振るように正確であるというところから,タクトシステムと名づけられたという。おもに組立作業に利用され,日本でも,車両の組立,ラジオセットの組立などに使われている。
