Overview

Standard Time Measurement is a tool for Process Planning to efficiently and reliably assign, analyze & manage the time required to perform a specific job sequence based on commonly used time measurement systems such UAS, MTM, MEK, STD, and general time component or company proprietary time standards.

The Standard Time Measurement User's Guide is intended for users who need to become quickly familiar with the application.

Standard Time Measurement in a Nutshell

Standard Time Measurement enables you to analyze the time required for an operation using standard time analysis methods like Universal Analyzing System (UAS), Methods Time Measurement (MTM), Standard Data (STD), and general time component. The time component codes required for these analysis systems are included in the installation and you can analyze the time by entering these codes during time analysis.

Standard Time Measurement provides default data cards. These data cards present the time component codes in a graphical user interface in a clear format and so increases the efficiency of time analysis. You can also customize data cards according to company specifications.

This guide does not explain how these methods work in detail. Knowledge about the different methods is required to use the software efficiently.

Before Reading this Guide

Before reading this guide, you should be familiar with basic Version 6 concepts such as document windows, standard and view toolbars. Therefore, we recommend that you read the Infrastructure User's Guide that describes generic capabilities common to all Version 6 products. It also describes the general layout of Version 6 and the interoperability between workbenches.

You should also refer to the Standard Time Measurement section of the Settings Customization Guide, which explains how to access and customize settings.

You should also be familiar with other Process Planning applications such as Manufacturing System Definition and Process Definition.
