Build reliable time standards and capacity decisions on observed work.

Independent time studies and process validation for realistic routings, workforce planning, costing and production capacity.

The challenge

Unreliable standards create unreliable plans.

Outdated routings, assumed cycle times and inconsistent methods distort capacity, staffing, costing and delivery commitments. A structured time study creates a common operational fact base.

What you gain
  • Observed and documented process times
  • Clear separation of value-adding work, delays and allowances
  • Validated capacity and workforce requirements
  • A defensible basis for SAP routings and planning
Scope of support

Time data that supports operational decisions.

01

REFA time studies

Structured observation, rating and calculation of standard times.

02

Method analysis

Process sequence, motion, waiting and workplace conditions.

03

Routing validation

Comparison of observed work with SAP or ERP routings.

04

Capacity analysis

Available versus required capacity by process or resource.

05

Workforce requirements

Fact-based staffing needs linked to demand and standards.

06

Improvement opportunities

Losses, imbalance and method changes identified during observation.

How we work

Evidence first. Priorities second. Implementation throughout.

The scope, products and representative conditions are agreed before observation. Results are reviewed with operational stakeholders, assumptions are made explicit and improvement opportunities are separated from the validated baseline.

Delivery

Built around your operational reality.

Engagements can be delivered on-site, remotely or through a hybrid model in Romania, across Europe and internationally where practical.
