Detailed time study
documentation
To ensure the reproducibility and traceability of a time study a detailed and standardized documentation is essential.
The main time study description is entered – as usual - into the time study sheet. Besides standard fields for work
system description you find many additional fields which easily can be adapted to your requirements with the program
FORMAS. Furthermore FORMAS helps you to design complete new time study sheets or print outputs.
documentation
Each time study can be documented by embedding photos, video clips, graphics and as much running text as you need (per study sheet, per activity or per measure point).
- Embedding of graphics, photos and video clips
- Text module data base: usable for any kind of text field
- Modification log ensures safe reproducibility
- Unalterable original data as source for your plan times
- Design of new study sheets and print outputs with FORMAS
- Expansion of data structure by creating new fields
- Linking of external data sources (e.g. Excel sheets)
Standardization by means of master data
The use of standard catalogues enables you to prepare your time study quickly and carefully. Hand written notes are no
longer necessary because the registration sheet with all its process segments is printed by MEZA. This function not
only saves a lot of time, but moreover provides for a better documentation. Furthermore the standard catalogue forms
the base for later plan time generation.
Work description
You can document the processes you record in your time studies in detail. Either centrally in the master database
or in the time study itself. The documentation usually includes detailed descriptions and photos or drawings. With the help of the work description, which can be designed with FORMAS, you can print the activities of your time study flexibly in combination with the media files and also use them for other purposes (e.g. process descriptions, work instructions, quality management). |

Documentation of multi job studies
Each work place in your time study can be fitted with its own time study sheet, which is filled with the evaluation
data of the corresponding work place automatically. With the tabs at the bottom of the dialogue you easily can
switch from one work place to another.

Linking of external data
Perhaps some important information is stored in external data sources? No problem: with the help of FORMAS you can
easily link your time study to external files (e.g. the study sheet to Excel spread sheets) and realize an online
transfer of external data to your time study.
