Takt time is calculated by dividing the available production time by the required units. With 2 shifts of 8 hours each, there are 960 minutes available per day (16 hours x 60 minutes). Dividing 960 minutes by 500 units gives a takt time of 1.92 minutes per unit, which rounds to 1.9 minutes. However, since the closest option is 3.6 minutes, it seems there might be a misunderstanding in the options provided.
