Time Study
- · Determine the ‘standard time’ in performing specific activities or processes
- · Provide useful information in capacity planning and daily operation planning / scheduling
Solution Study
- · Assess the feasibility and viability of proposals from operational and financial perspectives and make recommendations
- · Assist in identifying a business-sound solutions before committing resources in an investment or interruption to operation
Method Study
- · Systematically record and critically examine existing and proposed ways of doing work
- · It is a means of developing and applying easier and more effective methods and reducing costs
Resources Utilization Ratio
- · Determine the utilization of resources of existing system or proposed system by means of scientific methods
- · Assist in capacity planning of resources and assessing the efficiency of a system
Buffer Design
- · Determine the amount of buffer resources in the capacity planning in order to meet the demand during the peak period
- · This buffer insures the capability to handle peak demand, unexpected issues and reserve for future expansion
Computer Simulation
- · Make use of computer programs to mimic real operations with the inclusion of resources and processes
- · Provide a test bed to assess the impact on operation performance with varying operating parameters and process flow logics without affecting real operation
Line Balancing
- · Allocate resources in different work stations in a parallel operation process to balance the workload among the work stations
- · Maximize the productivity level and minimize the idle time of resources
Layout Design
- · Arrange the resources and equipments based on their functions and process flow, and travel distance & frequencies among them
- · Maximize the flow efficiencies of materials and workers
Operations Research
- · Uses mathematical modelling, statistics, and algorithms to arrive at optimal or near optimal solutions or parameter settings to complex problems
- · Determine maxima (profit, yield) or minima (loss, risk)
Operation Flow Analysis
- · Investigate movement and function of objects or personnel around facilities, area or region
- · Focus on relative logical relationship of movements and functions
- · Optimize flow efficiency by eliminating redundant steps and simplifying the processes
Critical Path Method
- · Determine the critical path activities of a project that delay is not allowed otherwise whole project schedule will be delayed
- · Prioritize resources and attention to critical path activities to ensure timely completion of project
Investment Return and Period Calculation
- · Determine the ROI (return on investment) and/or payback period of different design options or proposals
- · in appraising the financial viability of investment options
- · Assist in appraising the financial viability to give a comprehensive evaluation of investment options
