# Finland Takt Time Data: Does Shorter Takt Mean Better Performance?

We analyzed 27,000+ real work packages from Finnish construction projects. The data shows that shorter takt times deliver up to 3× better on-time completion rates. See how your project compares.

##### FINLAND TAKT TIME DATA

## Is shorter takt the key to better performance?

We analyzed real project data across Finland from Sitedrive  
The pattern is clear: the more granular the work package, the more accurately it tracks to plan

Key takeaway

### 3–5 day takt time still dominates.

Most work packages are still planned in multi-day durations.

Shorter takt times are used far less frequently — even though they create faster feedback loops and better reliability.

Compare your typical takt time against the data.

A 30-day slice of production

## Smaller work packages finish on time more often.

27,008 work packages from active jobsites in the last 30 days, grouped by planned duration. The pattern is consistent: the more granular the work package, the more accurately it tracks to plan.

The pattern

On-time share falls steadily as duration grows — from **55% in the shortest bucket to 11% in the longest**. Hour-blocks tend to land. Month-blocks tend to slip.

Reading the chart

Longer packages have more **ongoing** work in the mix — they simply haven't reached their planned end date yet. That's why the gray segment grows toward the bottom.

## Projects with shorter takt times achieve significantly higher on-time completion rates compared to longer work packages

#### **Up to 3× improvement in on-time performance**

#### **Longer work packages hide delays—they stay ‘ongoing’ instead of finishing on time.**

#### **The biggest drop in reliability happens when work packages move from hours to days.**

#### **Shorter takt times increase predictability across the schedule**
