Work Study, Work Flow, Flow Chart, Flow Process

 

Many terms may describe the concept, but the single fact is that

A Workplace Can Be Productive, Or Just Busy.

JPR can help you assure that the activity in your workplace is productive.

 

JPR WILL OBSERVE AND RECORD WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS IN A WORK SITUATION, WHETHER INDIVIDUAL, LINE, GROUP, CELL

What activity is performed?

(Over time, startup and cleanup, interruptions, break and lunch, busy and slow)

 

Does all activity add value?

(Think of rework, equipment down, work partly done, multiple handling, inconsistent methods)

 

Are workloads balanced?

(Between operators? Does the job require too much, or too little? What about rearranging tasks?)

 

Who has responsibility, who plays a supporting role?

(Who assigns, approves, checks, contributes? Do all tasks have one and only one responsible?)

 

 

JPR THEN CONVERTS OBSERVATION RESULTS TO DEMONSTRATE

Where actual practice does not meet management expectations

Where the work stacks up, and why

Who sets priority and how well the plan is followed

The extent to which individual work loads vary

What delay and non-value added activity has crept into the workplace

Where constraints are, due to workload, process, equipment, flow

Any practice or policy that retards progress

The right crew size

The reports that measure key outputs

And of course JPR will suggest changes that can improve output, cut costs, reduce cycle time.

 

 

Work study is equally useful in the office, the lab, the maintenance shop, the field, customer service, government, military, and the warehouse, as well as on a production floor.
