Motion Study or Method Analysis.

 Method / Motion Study: “Motion economy helps to achieve productivity & reduce cumulative trauma at the workstation or sub-micro level” Group of activities to find the alternate best method.

Motion analysis helps to achieve productivity & reduce cumulative trauma of the workstation or sub-micro level.

Following the Steps for Motion Analysis: - SRE- DIM

• 1-    Select a job
• 2-    Record all data
• 3-    Examine record data
• 4-    Develop alternate method
• 5-    Instal best alternate method
• 6-    Maintain install method

Use of Motion Analysis: -

• 1-    Study the standard operation method
• 2-    Search the wasteful motion
• 3-    Examine the optimum motion order and method.
• 4-   Reduce fatigue caused by operation
• 5-   Study the arrangements of jigs, parts, etc. suitable for motion.

Key Points of Motion Analysis: -

• 1-    Reduce the number of basic motions.
  
• 2-    Decrease the Motion Size.
• 3-    Perform simultaneous Motion.

 Analyze basic motion operation (by MTM analysis method) by constructing elemental operations.

Four Principles of Improvement (ECRS)

• 1- Exclusion(Omission)
• 2- Combination.
• 3- Reaggengement
• 4- Simplify.

Workshop Preparation:-

Develop the habit of placing all tools and materials in a fixed position.

• Arrange tools and materials in proper order to eliminate looking around for them.

• Place tools and materials close to the point of use

• Arrange materials and tools so that they will create the best operation order.

• Illuminate for easy operation.
