Maynard’s operation sequence technique is a very important tool of work-study and is widely used to develop manpower standards based on studies. Time study is a manual process to observe and measure processes but MOST is a very advanced technique to conduct the study of different processes in a very precise way. Now day MOST…
After lean manufacturing was introduced, the majority of organizations started measuring motion waste and changing processes to minimize motion waste. This waste is mostly not visible in the operational process; measure motion waste with the help of work measurement techniques. Many repetitive tasks are visible during product production in various industries these days, and if…
To run any business cash flow rotation is very-very essential things. Out of each waste inventory waste is the only waste to hold liquidity as a form of raw material, work-in-progress, and finished goods. If the flow of material is continuously rotating from raw material to finished goods and on time dispatched to the customer…
Identifying and minimizing transportation waste from operational processes is the main purpose of writing this article. In many small-scale and large-scale industries production processes and visibility of transportation waste. The eye-opener things are when we start monitoring systematically lean manufacturing parameters gap will be visible in operational processes. Now a day’s world is drastically changing…
Flow diagrams, travel charts & string diagram is a tools of method study to analyze process overview in a layout mode and identify opportunities for improvement. Generally, each tool of method studies like OPC, FPC, and Two-handed chart suggests the study of process overview in a line diagram mode. In this article, you deeply learn…

6 ‘S’ Audit is a tool to review the performance of 6 ‘S’ implementation. Sustainability is a very important parameter to implementing lean manufacturing tools in any organization. To achieve a higher sustainability score audit is a mandatory requirement for any concept or new tool implementation. Before you conduct an audit of 6 ‘S’. you…

There are several key methods to improve productivity but when we fixed input, all the resources, processes, and environment as it is in that case very difficult to improve productivity. Now a day’s people are focused on smart work so one of the very effective ways of improving productivity in any sector is to reduce…
Two-handed process chart & multiple activity chart is generally used to study more than one activity at a time. In a two-handed process chart, analyze the activity of both hands & in a multiple-activity chart analyze two different activities like man, machine, and other activities. Basically, both charts are tools of method study. A two-handed…

The operation process chart & flow process chart is basically a tool for method study. To implement the lean manufacturing concept & its tools like kaizen, 6 ‘S’, SMED, OEE, VSM, and poka-yoke the basic requirement is to know & understand the basic process. OPC & FPC can help to understand the process & identify…

Work study is the basic tool of lean manufacturing, helping to create a basic but very important platform for lean manufacturing implementation. Now a day’s trends measure performance or study processes with the help of work-study tools of lean manufacturing. Monitoring & measuring the performance of processes and machines and calculating manpower utilization is a…
