Work Measurement
& Standards
Industrial
Productivity Services (IPS) performs Work Measurement as the first step in
making Improvements. Machine and Processes must be timed. Operator timing is
performed using MODAPTS® (MODular Arrangement of Pre-Determined Time
Standards). Further changes can be planned on the basis of objective Work
Measurement.

Methods Analysis & Improvement
Industrial Productivity
Services (IPS) systematically subjects your operation to close scrutiny,
challenging jobs & operations. With this analysis we develop better Methods
that result in Improvements.
Focusing on clear
objectives, Work
Simplification can result in increasing the Value Added component to labour
and decreased redundancies.

IPS findings can reveal opportunities for
improved safety, quality and productivity. We can develop opportunities into
plans.
IPS can support you in implementing improvements.

Line Balancing
Relocate tasks to ensure optimal labour and machine utilization throughout
the process. Minimum labour coupled with maximum line rate yields the least
labour cost. This involves reallocating work elements, tools, equipment and
adjustments in facilities and the delivery of parts and support services.
|
We can support clients as the required changes are
initially communicated and later implemented. Equitable workload
distribution improves group morale and is likely to result in achieving a
fair day’s work from all employees. Safety and quality concerns can be
addressed by re-balancing work.

Shop Floor Layout & Routings
Industrial Productivity
Services (IPS)
provides Process Flow analysis to objectively document present facility
locations and mapping of product and process flow through the facilities.
Challenges can be identified such as; delays due to inter-dependence of
operations, lack of on-site parts, tooling problems, maintenance
deficiencies and delays in material handling of parts, products and waste.
|
 |
We work with the client in generating solutions and supporting clients in
implementation of facility and
schedule improvements.

Facilities Planning
Based
on Committed Capacity, facilities, machinery and labour can be planned.
Industrial Productivity Services (IPS)
can
determine Preliminary Capacity for new or planned upgrades to facilities.
Machinery requirements, Conveyor planning and material handling requirements
can be determined as a basis for shop floor layout and process routings.
