Time Study Expert

With the DELMIA 3DEXPERIENCE Time Study Expert (TSX) Role the industrial engineer has a powerful application to analyze the very details of operations assigned to workplaces using state-of-the-art industry standards to accurately compute operation times.

The time analysis allows the optimization of existing and designing of new workplaces for production efficiency. At the same time, it can help to maintain the workers’ health and reduce fatigue. TSX uses scientific methods such as ones provided by the MTM (Methods-Time Measurement) Association (e.g. MTM-UAS, MTM-1) or MOST (Maynard Operation Sequence Technique) to overcome traditional stopwatch-based techniques. To keep existing IP, TSX also includes existing (best-practice) data that has been developed by the customer. Last but not least, thanks to the full integration within the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, the time studies performed by TSX along with equipment allocation and line balancing can be used in Process Engineer (PPL).

TSX also provides authoring capabilities for process plans (workplan, system, operations) which link to the manufacturing items structure (MBOM) and balance operations. Additionally, users can view the virtual build in the process plan to inspect the effects of analyzed durations and the balanced operations on the build-up, especially when operation sequences are changing.

Time Study Expert Benefits

Time analysis based on company and industry standards

Many companies have already invested significant time and effort in capturing time analysis for manufacturing and assembly processes. TSX allows planners to define and use customized data cards in addition to the industry standards delivered OOTB. Data can be converted for the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.

Reduced time and effort for application users to optimize the total productivity of workers and efficiency of the production system

Provides an easy-to-learn/easy-to-use interface, which is suited for occasional users as well as time analysis experts. Expert users can enter quickly and directly code in a spreadsheet-like manner while non-expert users might prefer to work based on data cards.

Full integration with process engineering and workplace design in 3D

Integration with the 3DEXPERIENCE® platform means there is no disconnect between the creation of time analysis and the usage of the results. The user can directly create the analysis based on inspection of the 3D Information (product, resource layout, distances between human worker and the objects to grab, reach, position, etc.). The consequences are directly visible in the production system utilization and balancing charts. This shortens cycle times and avoids additional interfaces between software applications and systems.

DELMIA Time Study Expert

Time Study Expert Highlights

Perform time analysis based on industry standards

Planners can define and re-use accurate time analysis based on well-known industry standards such as for example MOST, MTM-UAS, MTM-1, MODAPTS.

Openness through APIs for CAA and EKL plus Business Rules

Read and write access to the time analysis data enables interface with TSX and plug-in customer specific business intelligence.

FAQ'S

What is a 3DEXPERIENCE Role?

A 3DEXPERIENCE Role is a selected group of apps and services useful for a specific job on the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform. You can have multiple roles and your administrator can create a custom role for you. Apps provide the actual functionality of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, for example, the Project Planner App provides project management, task assignment, and progress tracking capability.

What is included in a 3DEXPERIENCE Role?

Each design team is different, and every user has individual needs. On the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform, tools are bundled into Roles which are assigned to individual users on an as-needed basis. Roles grant access to Apps in the Platform. You can think of the Roles on the platform as “a la carte” – meaning you can build your Platform to contain exactly the tools you need, and none of the ones you don’t. Some Roles contain basic tools which may be required for every user, and other Roles are highly specialised for particular applications.

What kind of 3DEXPERIENCE Roles are available?

DELMIA 3DEXERIENCE Advantage

Connect with other 3DEXERIENCE roles and take advantage of the virtual twin for the entire enterprise

Collaborative Operations

DELMIA 3DEXPERIENCE Operations vision that enables a common understanding for all stakeholders.

This solution provides a holistic, model-based, and data-driven digital backbone that breaks down the silos between diverse functional users from engineering, operations, and supply chain.

Combine Virtual and Real worlds

Virtual Twin Experience on the cloud is an executable virtual model of a physical system which brings in learning and experiences taken from the real world processes to update the digital twin model.

Achieving this closed-loop capability is the full realisation of benefits to be gained from the convergence of the Virtual and Real Worlds

Manufacturing Line Design

Manufacturers of any size can adopt new processes and systems that reduce design incompatibilities between sales and engineering.

Using DELMIA 3D technology in a single platform, OEM line manufacturers can demonstrate the final product design and performance in an immersive experience that raises the customer’s level of satisfaction.
