OP&S-ZEIT-AUF III
An efficient tool to rationalize your work studies
OP&S-ZEIT-AUF is an advanced computer program to carry out and analyze time studies and allowance time studies in all production processes.
You can run OP&S-ZEIT-AUF on mobile computers for data collection directly on the spot. During the time taking the computer can be placed on a tripod or on a plate held by a neck or shoulder trap. Thus a high mobility is provided. Powerful battery packs insure your independence from the main supply.
Working with OP&S-ZEIT-AUF is easily learned. You can operate the program by a few key strokes, by mouse or by a pen when using a notepad. On a notepad even character recognition is available. Your handwriting will be changed into printed chracters or saved like a signature.
During time taking all working conditions and sequences can either be described in a text or can be loaded as a standard text from a database. Therefore very seldomly hand-written notes will be needed. Using standard texts from the databases enables you to process the time study in standard time formulas and tables.
Observed element times, cumulative times and additional times are recordable for individual work, team work, multiple activity and multiple machine operation. While time taking is carried out, the work sequences can alternate between regular and irregular sequences. The number of recordable work cycles or elements is not restricted. If required, OP&S-ZEIT-AUF is able to learn irregular sequences. Afterwards the program will know the next step.
The evaluation of recorded data can be started even during the time taking. It contains a summary of time types, elements and cycles as well as statistical analysis. Special information is provided by the time scale and a wide range of selective analysis options.
Both, program masks and print-outs, depict the German standard forms for time taking provided by REFA, espescially the commonly used front and reverse page of the Z1 and Z2 forms. A wide range of print-outs meets all requirements of documentation. For further data processing OP&S-ZEIT-AUF offers data export in various formats, like MS Excel, dBase, ASCII etc. The original form of a time study is stored in a separate original data file that can only be printed but not edited. Compared to manual data collection the OP&S-system enormously speeds up job engineering.
