Methodology

From recording to provisional standard time

A single-cycle direct study for method documentation and baseline ST. Validate with repeated observations before locking into production routings.

  1. Record the work cycle

    One complete workstation cycle. Steady framing — operator and work zone fully visible.

  2. Develop the operation chart

    Elements timed to ASME symbols with LH/RH descriptions and VA / NVA / necessary classes.

  3. Establish provisional ST

    Observed → normal (rating) → standard (PF&D). Export for review — not routing-ready until approved.

Typical run 2–8 min · vs 4–8 hr manual direct study

Scope

This evaluation vs. the full platform

MotionLab is the Study module — video work measurement and provisional standard time. The full Manufacturing Improvement OS connects approved standards to execution and measured performance.

Beyond evaluation

Standard method to measured performance

Version approved standard work, deploy it to the line, and measure performance against defensible times — on infrastructure your plant owns.
