Time & Motion Study vs Cycle Time Calculator

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.

The Cycle Time Calculator can calculate the cycle time to almost process. It has 4 different calculators. The first one is a stopwatch that can not only calculate the Cycle Time, Parts Per Hour, and Parts Per Day; While using extra variables such as Parts Per Cycle, Hours per Shift, and Shifts per Day. The second Calculator is a Conveyor Feet Per Minute, that calculates cycle time, Parts Per Hour, and Parts Per Day based off speed of the conveyor, size of the parts and the spacing between the parts; It also has the extra variables such as Parts Per Cycle, Hours per Shift, and Shifts per Day. The third calculator is the Seconds Calculator, and the 4 the Calculator is the Minutes Calculator. These calculators are used if you have a known cycle time and desire to know the parts per hour and parts per shift while using the extra variables, Parts Per Cycle, Hours per Shift, and Shifts per Day. You can easily walk through a factory and find the bottlenecks.
