Argent’s extensive industrial engineering background, with over 35 years of field experience, uniquely qualifies us to effectively conduct time studies. We know how to measure anything that moves in your operation, so you can better manage it.
Time studies provide a valuable service and are frequently used for initiatives such as:
- Objective data for comparisons of equipment or processes
- Capturing process cycle times or lead times
- Evaluating current staff utilization and performance
- Quantifying gains achieved through layout or process improvements
- Identifying labor resources as part of a cost analysis or Cost of Goods Sold
- Creating line-balancing in manufacturing
- Identifying opportunities to increase productivity and reduce labor costs
- Amount of time spent on random, non-value-added activities
- Establishing productivity goals or Engineered Labor Standards
