Timer Pro Professional’s Video Time and Motion module is the one tool that those involved in lean initiatives, process analysis, process improvement and lean training should not be without. It will save hours of tedious manual effort beginning from the very first time it is used
Timer Pro Professional now offers clients Video-based time and motion analysis for your lean operation initiatives including:
· Encouraging operator involvement
· Identifying and documents non value added activities
· Isolating and create training recordings of best practice methods
· Integrated work balancing with drag and drop process modeling
· Creating standard time libraries based on best practices.
The package also includes PDA and Excel software modules for mobile real time data collection.
Video Time and Motion accurately documents and times any task while simultaneously isolating the non-value added work content. Video supported analysis creates an unchallengeable history of the current process state.
Video supported analysis creates an unchallengeable history of the current process state. Select best practice clips for training the future process state. Feeds into your value stream mappings.
Each and every task observation can be instantly replayed for review and analysis, Best practices can be identified, isolated and consolidated into a new video presentation of the desired future process state the ideal solution to your training needs.
The video module includes powerful integrated task timing capabilities including slow motion, fast motion, timed jumps, instant rewind, side by side comparison playback completely eliminating the need for expensive time stamping video and players.
Even the most inexpensive, basic digital video cameras provide excellent quality input for the Video Time and Motion module.
Output from the video analysis can be easily shared with other interested users and can be passed directly to Timer Pro Professional’s:
· Work balancing module with access to drag and drop capabilities between task plus optimization by number of operators, production or takt time. In seconds you can see and quantify the effect of removing non-value added activities on throughput to achieve your lean production goals
· Company specific standard data libraries for repeated use by staff in lean teams, estimating, quoting and design
· PDA and Excel based time study modules for use in mobile real time data collection
· QuickTimes module for methods analysis and improvement using the included predetermined standard time dataset.
Standard Excel exports also support value stream maps using Visio and eVSM applications.
Timer Pro and Pivothead Smart™ glasses deliver the ultimate Standard Work and Operator Training experience. Imagine point of view videos of every step of your process from the operator's true perspective.
Using Pivothead Smart™ professional grade eyewear you will incorporate the operator’s true point of view into Timer Pro’s Standard Work and Operator Training modules. This delivers not only lean operations, but also lower training costs, improved product quality, better and more efficient documentation, lower defects and reduced rework.
Standard work and operator training produced by Timer Pro + Pivothead (with videos of work content EXACTLY as it appears to the operator) will be priceless to your company.
Pivothead Smart™ glasses combine ANSI Z-87 safety rated lens and top of the line video technology. They are worn by the operator to capture exactly what he or she sees as the work is performed. Simple finger swipes on the frame arm control video recording. An LED built into the frame itself indicates to the operator when recording is in process.
Snapshots of issues can be captured by a single tap on the frame arm. This creates a feedback loop of process and quality issues that impede the timely completion of the task. These issues are flagged by Timer Pro for review by process owners.
Fine details, from printed circuit boards to small text on labels and equipment tags, are captured with auto-focus precision. They can be analyzed in Timer Pro as a part of the documented workflows. Users can create high quality Timer Pro Storyboards with videos and crisp still images. Pivothead Smart™ glasses can also live stream the point of view video back to a central storage.
The Future: Pivothead Operator Point of View Video
The Past: Traditional Video Camera View
Supports Time and Motion Studies and Work Sampling
· Directly from Within Excel
· Directly from Video Recordings
· Using the iPad, iPhone, Android Smartphones and Tablets
Apple and Samsung Device Capabilities
· Any number of time study templates can be used in the application to cover all your operations. Add header data to identify the study and additional data and notes (by observation) to capture full details of the study. You can performance rate every observation and easily handle interruptions and fumbles. Missing some elements? Simply add and edit elements in real time on the device.
· At any time you can instantly access summary statistics and see required observations, operator performance and the final standard for review while at the work station.
· Download templates from Excel and send collected data back to Excel for final summarization in the full Timer Pro Profession package for use in line balancing, data libraries and work instructions.
Examples Where Timer Pro Professional Can Be Used:
· For office work or where the work place allows for easy use of a laptop computer you can use Excel.
· If you need to move around to record activity – perhaps in a warehouse, hospital or transportation studies use the PDA.
· To work with staff to identify process improvement opportunities, in lean and Kaizen initiatives or for operator training purposes use the powerful Video Time Study module.
Data Saved in Excel Compliments Timer Pro's Other Capabilities
· Standard data libraries
· Process analysis, work cell and line balancing
· Operator training and best practices
· Work instructions – automated creation and maintenance.
The Time Study Template for Excel is a subset of Timer Pro Professional that allows you to:
· Enter your Time Study Data and the Timer Pro Template will summarize and give you the same Reporting Capabilities available in the of the full Professional package.
· New If you do not have your own existing time studies, use the Standard Formprovided with the Time Study Template to perform a detailed time study. Next, load your data directly into the template.
· Take Line Balancing and process data you already have and the Time Study Template will instantly develop Yamazumi Charts in Excel. These charts highlight value and non-value added work so you may target your work process improvements. They are the same charts that you get from the Professional package.
· Estimate New Jobs using our QuickTimes standard data library. Pass data into Yamazumi charts.
