Use Line Balancing to Create Lean Operations

Timer Pro Professional supports your lean operation initiatives by allowing you to quickly balance single and multi-model processes by number of operators, required production or takt time.

The balancing module will instantly calculate the optimum utilization using the fewest operators to achieve the result requested. You can vary the parameters as often as you wish to run 'what-if' scenarios.
   

Results of the line balancing process are saved as a series of tasks. Each activity is represented as a chip in each task. You can drag and drop the activity chips to further refine your balance.

Isolate Non Value Added Work

Value added, non-value added and required but non value added activities can be color-coded to highlight improvement opportunities. In seconds, each variation can be saved for review with supervisors and staff.
   

Produce Gantt and Pareto charts in seconds. Print Yamazumi (stacked bar) charts up to 100 inches (250 cm) wide.  
   

For use on the production floor give supervisors and operators access to copies of your balanced state to identify additional improvement opportunities as the drag and drop features are intuitive and extremely user friendly.  

Staffing and Equipment Requirements

The balance module also allows you to load the production schedule by model and see the labor and equipment requirement by station. As you move work from the one station to another by simply dragging and dropping the chips the requirements automatically update.
