process optimization and simulation

1. PROCESS OPTIMIZATION

   • is a technique by which the company is able to analyze all its processes in order to eliminate possible errors

2. WORK MEASUREMENT

   • Work measurement is the application of techniques to determine the time that a qualified worker spends in carrying out a defined task, carrying it out according to a pre-established performance standard.
   • Necessary phases for work measurement
     • 1 Selection: The work to be studied
       • 2 Register: All the data related to the circumstances in which the work is carried out, the methods and the elements of activity that they suppose.
         • 3 Review : The recorded data and the detail of the elements with a critical sense to verify if the most effective methods and movements are used, and to separate the unproductive or foreign elements from the productive ones.
           • 4 Measure : The recorded data and the detail of the elements with a critical sense to verify if the most effective methods and movements are used, and to separate the unproductive or foreign elements from the productive ones.
             • 5 Collect: The standard time of the operation, providing, in case of study of times with a stopwatch, supplements for short breaks, personal needs, etc.
               • 6 Define: Precisely the series of activities and the method of operation to which the computed time corresponds and notify that this will be the standard time for the specified activities and methods.

3. TIME STUDY

   • It is undeniable that among the techniques used in the measurement of work, the most important is the Study of Times, or at least it is the one that allows us to confront the reality of the production systems subject to measurement.

4. The Study of Methods

   • is the technique par excellence to minimize the amount of work, eliminate unnecessary movements and substitute methods.
