Frequent Times Module: Precision in Non-Cyclic Activities
Analyze and optimize activities that occur irregularly, acyclically, or randomly in your industrial process. Improve productivity by identifying patterns and establishing precise standards for exact standard time calculation.
What is the Frequent Times Module in CRONOMETRAS?
The Frequent Times Module is a specialized tool in CRONOMETRAS designed for the measurement and analysis of non-cyclic activities in industrial environments. Unlike repetitive elements that occur in every cycle, frequent elements appear irregularly or randomly, such as adjustments, verifications, replenishments, or incidents. This module allows capturing, analyzing, and standardizing these activities to correctly include them in the standard time calculation.
Precise Recording of Acyclic Activities for Complete Time Studies
The industrial time study software CRONOMETRAS offers specialized tools to capture events that occur irregularly, essential for a comprehensive time and motion study:
• Detailed recording of frequent elements with millisecond precision
• Fast timekeeping of irregular elements through an interface optimized for industrial environments
• Grouped list of frequent elements for a structured data visualization
• Advanced statistics related to each element's time, including averages, deviations, and trends
• Seamless integration with the method module for a complete standard time calculation
Get a clear and quantifiable picture of how random activities impact your production process and your standard time.
Comprehensive Visualization of Frequent Elements for Advanced Analysis
Effective work measurement requires a clear and structured data visualization. CRONOMETRAS presents all frequent elements in a single organized view designed for modern methods engineering:
• Complete list with significant data for each element, facilitating comparative analysis
• Average time and average activity rating for each element, automatically calculated according to standardized methodologies
• Assigned frequency for each element with visual indicators of its impact on standard time
• Detailed description and index for each element for quick and precise identification
• Advanced filters to segment elements based on specific criteria such as duration, frequency, or type
Quickly access all relevant information about your frequent elements in one place, optimizing data-driven decision making for continuous process improvement.
Flexible Editing of Frequent Elements for Accurate Standard Time Calculations
Standard time calculation requires precise adjustments based on real data. CRONOMETRAS allows customizing and adjusting each frequent element according to the specific needs of your time study:
• Edit the recorded time for each take with millisecond precision, removing outliers or correcting measurement errors
• Modify the activity rating assigned to each take according to standardized methodologies such as Bedaux, MTM, or international standards
• Adjust the frequency of occurrence for each time record based on long-term observations or statistical analyses
• Update data in real-time and observe how they affect standard time through dynamic graphs and automatic calculations
• Add comments and observations to each element to document special conditions or variations
Keep your time studies accurate and updated with the ability to refine each parameter, guaranteeing realistic and competitive work standards for your production system.
Optimize Your Time Studies with the Frequent Times Module
The CRONOMETRAS Frequent Times module is the definitive solution for analyzing and optimizing non-cyclic activities in industrial and service environments. Unlike traditional industrial time study methods, our software allows you to:
- Precisely record random or irregular activities that impact productivity with millimetric accuracy
- Visualize all frequent elements in a single organized view with relevant statistical data
- Edit and adjust parameters to refine your studies according to standardized international methodologies
- Establish realistic time standards based on real data and statistical analyses
- Improve resource allocation and production planning with precise data
- Seamlessly integrate frequent elements into the overall standard time calculation
According to recent studies on industrial productivity, companies that implement advanced time measurement systems like CRONOMETRAS achieve productivity increases of up to 15-20% in their operations and reduce study setup times by 35% compared to traditional methods.
The correct measurement and standardization of frequent elements can represent between 10% and 25% of the total standard time in many industrial processes, which demonstrates the critical importance of having specialized tools for their analysis.
