The world is fighting the deadly COVID-19 virus, and the industry across the globe is suffering from these ordeal times of dealing with the virus and trying to make changes to the working process to return to the new normal.
The Time and Motion Study not only records and evaluates the work rate of elements (for projects performed under everyday conditions), but also helps identify inefficiencies and areas for improvement. It is a proven work measurement method. Although fundamental, time and motion research define fundamentals and enables to achieve better capacity, awareness, and robust planning systems that lead facility operations to superior operations. The structured Time & Motion Study aims to pave the way for best-in-class manpower productivity and lay the foundation for industrial IoT or automation.
Conducting a time-motion study correctly and implementing the right solutions allow you to enhance procedures and boost performance. Improved working practises increase operator efficiency while reducing weariness. It’s not only about how hard you work; it’s also about how smart you work!
The use of time-motion concept can improve resource allocation and planning. One can allocate the appropriate resources after one knows how much time and movement each task requires. Another advantage is lower costs. The larger the cost reductions, the better one can plan resources and the more work the crew completes. Remember to track how much time your employees save after making improvements.
In a production & manufacturing environment, time, motion and behavioural study can identify & improve the following:
- Improving manpower productivity
- Potential to increase production output
- Work measurement and effort estimation
- Determining the number and right-sizing of the workforce, equipment and tools required
- Ascertaining the cost of manufacturing processes
- Determining performance, assembly line and speed of conveyor belts
- Reduce changeover time
- Analysis of total manufacturing and distribution costs.
- Determining & improving employee performance in production.
- Determination of wage system for overtime workers.
- Implementation of cost reduction measures.
- Assisting in line balancing, cost reduction processes, and improvement initiatives
- Impact of time and motion study on overall productivity as per the ILO guidelines
