REFA and capacity · EFE Lean Consulting

Know what the operation can actually deliver.

REFA time studies and method analysis to validate standard times, SAP routings, workforce needs and production capacity against observed shop-floor work.

When to act

Typical situations and the first questions to resolve.

Signals

  • ERP routings and observed cycle times diverge
  • Capacity plans fail when mix or staffing changes
  • Labour requirements are disputed or based on old standards

What we examine

  • Work sequence, method and observed time by operation
  • Performance rating, allowances and process variation where applicable
  • Routing logic, staffing, product mix and constraint capacity

What you receive

  • Transparent time-study evidence and assumptions
  • Validated standard-time and capacity recommendations
  • A management view of routing, staffing and planning implications

The first stage

Start with the decision, then validate the facts.

We select representative products and processes, agree the measurement method and review existing routings. Observation is then reconciled with the actual operating conditions.

Work can be delivered on site or through a hybrid arrangement across Romania and Europe. Scope, timing, client participants and deliverables are agreed for the specific operation.
