Time Study & Analysis
It all begins with an idea.
1. Work Measurement & Data Collection
Conduct detailed on-floor time studies using stopwatch or MOST methods to capture every motion and cycle time accurately. We focus on real-world observations to build precise performance benchmarks.
2. Standard Time Development
Convert observed data into engineered standards that reflect realistic operator performance. Our models account for fatigue, delay allowances, and process variation to create fair and defendable labor goals.
3. Process Bottleneck Identification
Analyze workflows to pinpoint high-variance tasks, delays, and travel inefficiencies. We provide actionable insights that directly translate into labor savings and improved throughput.
4. Labor Balancing & Resource Planning
Use time study results to optimize staffing levels across shifts, zones, and activities. We help align resources with true workload demand, improving utilization without overstaffing.
5. Performance Tracking & Continuous Improvement
Establish clear KPIs and dashboards to track performance against engineered standards. We train supervisors and teams to use these metrics for ongoing productivity improvement.
