If your schedule does not obey these 10 commandments, it is not a Takt plan.  Doing Takt the wrong way is as bad as not doing a Takt plan.

TAKT PLANS MUST BE HIGHLY VISUAL & CLEAR

TAKT PLANS MUST PROTECT WORK, CREW OR TRADE  FLOW WITHOUT STACKING

TAKT PLANS MUST BE SCHEDULED ON A RHYTHM, WITH CONTINUITY & CONSISTENCY

TAKT PLANS MUST INCLUDE THE APPROPRIATE BUFFERS TO ABSORB THE RISKS OF THE PHASE

TAKT PLANS MUST BE ON A TAKT TIME BY TAKT ZONE, AND SHOWN WITH SPACE ON THE LEFT & TIME ON THE RIGHT

TAKT PLANS MUST HAVE A REASONABLE OVERALL PROJECT DURATION THAT WILL NOT HURT WORKERS

TAKT PROJECTS MUST FOCUS ON ROADBLOCK REMOVAL AHEAD OF THE TRAIN AND THE ADJUSTMENTS OF CONSTRAINTS IN THE TRAIN

TAKT PROJECTS MUST FOCUS ON QUALITY BY PLANNING IT FIRST, BUILDING IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME, AND FINISHING AS YOU GO

TAKT PROJECTS MUST LIMIT WORK IN PROCESS WITH ONE-PROCESS FLOW
