Time & Motion Study vs WorkStudy+ 7 for Time Study

Discover the ultimate tool for time and motion studies, rooted in industrial engineering methodologies. Time & Motion Study, a user-friendly and automated time study tool, is designed to optimize your time study operations! Enhance working methods to boost efficiency and reduce waste. Effectiveness isn't just about hard work, but also smart work. These time and motion studies empower you to fine-tune your operational processes (increasing throughput) and improve resource utilization (enhancing efficiency). How do we achieve this? By understanding the time and movements required for specific tasks, you can effectively allocate the optimal amount of labor and material resources. Enjoy the added benefit of cost reduction (savings in labor and material costs). Time studies are ideally used for: 1. Machine and operational process cycle time verification. 2. Manual tasks in employee functions, involving repetitive tasks in retail, manufacturing/production, distribution, or other operational environments. To start a time study: 1. Tap “New Time Study.” 2. Select the number of tasks/process steps in the process you are studying. 3. Name the tasks/elements/process steps. 4. Tap “Start." Pro Tip: Measure the time saved by workers after implementing changes to provide a clear and transparent return on investment business case back to your organization.
