Paperless Time Study description

What is time study?
Time study is a method for establishing employee productivity standards in which a repetitive task is broken into simple steps, the sequence of movements taken by the employee in performing those steps is carefully observed, and precise time taken for each correct movement is measured. For manually conducting time study one needs a stop-watch, a study board and a time study form.

What is this app about?
This app reduces the effort required to conduct a time study. You just need an Android smartphone instead of a stopwatch, study board or study form for conducting a time study. This app also generates a spreadsheet of all laps and foreign elements and shows a summary report of the study in a google doc file.

Features of this app:
- Add process information.
- Breakdown process into elements
- Add process/operation information
- Add operator information
- Add foreign elements related to the process
- Measure time of each element precisely
- Measure foreign elements precisely
- Generate report in Google Sheets
- Access everything from website.

Time Study Procedure:
1. Define and document the standard method.
2. Divide the task into work elements.
3. Time the work elements to obtain the observed time for the task.
4. Evaluate the worker’s pace relative to standard performance to determine the normal time.
5. Apply an allowance to the normal time to compute the standard time.
