Has anyone completed time studies on Mydata's Agilis feeder system? Is the time to load / unload reels any faster than traditional feeders? Any comments regarding the Agilis feeders would be greatly appreciated.

I'm looking for an SPC package that can also help with time studies for tracking assembly productivity. Does such an animal exist? Any and all recommendations are appreciated. Also if you could provide urls or phone numbers that would be great. T

As an alternative, consider: * Asking your operators. * Having your operators keep logs and checking them with hands-on time studies.

Why don't you estimate a board, then do a time study when you actually build the board to see how accurate the estimate was. This works very well in convinceing someone how accurate you are. Jerry

If you are developing a cost model for quotation/estimation purposes, we would recommend time studying a handful of existing jobs/set up's that you have, and averaging your actual CPM rate. Then determining your cost to operate from there. This wil

MTM. Wow, people still do that huh? The problem I have with MTM, it assumes everyone performs things in robotic type motions. The best time study is one that relies on sound statistical methods, and across multiple operators. MTM, however, is gre

I am working on some capacity issues and I have been reading some of the other treads, but I am still struggling with the idea of machine downtime. We have a lot of older equipment that does not consistantly run from day to day. How do I factor that

For me it looks like a scheduling issue. You can do time studies on your assemblies and predict the best workload, based on scheduling the jobs in the right sequence. Also it sounds like you have only one operator. Train more people to operate will h

I agree with Dave. The only reliable way is to perform a time study using a watch with decimal minutes. Setup the study using an average rated operator and time 10 component insertions (from pick up to hands off), time 10 component soldering operati
