Time & Motion Study 1.3.2

The time & motion study tool provided is derived from industrial engineering methodologies. This user-friendly and automated tool aims to optimize operational processes by analyzing working methods to improve efficiency and reduce worker fatigue.

Effectiveness is not solely based on effort but also on smart work. These time & motion studies offer insights into how to optimize operational processes by increasing throughput and enhancing resource utilization for greater efficiency.

Knowing the time and movements required for specific tasks allows for the appropriate allocation of labor and material resources, ultimately leading to cost savings through decreased expenses in labor and materials.

The tool is best suited for tasks such as verifying machine cycle times and studying manual employee functions that involve repetitive tasks, commonly found in retail, manufacturing, production, distribution, and other operational environments.

To begin a time study, users need to follow these steps:

1. Tap “New Time Study”
2. Choose the number of tasks in each job cycle
3. Name tasks/elements
4. Tap “Start”

Pro Tip: It is advisable to measure the time saved by workers after implementing changes to provide a transparent return on investment (ROI) business case back to the organization.
