TIMES AND MOVEMENTS
AviX Methods is a Times and Motion software that uses standard stopwatch or MTM-based times like MTM-UAS or MTM-SAM.
It eases the process of analyzing work-operations and creating basic data for balancing resources, compute or apply audits to cycle times and efficiently determine standard times.
A simple and fast method of analysis provides detailed information on the times of individual work operations for work-cells or complete production lines.
The given standard times can be used for improvement work, capacity calculations and as a basis for resource-management decision making.


Time and Movements study is a business efficiency technique combining the Time Study work of Frederick Winslow Taylor with the Motion Study work of Frank and Lillian Gilbreth. It is a major part of scientific management (Taylorism). After its first introduction, time study developed in the direction of establishing standard times, while motion study evolved into a technique for improving work methods.Wikipedia - Zandin 2001 - Price, B 1989 Frank and Lillian Gilbreth and the Manufacture and Marketing of Motion Study, 1908-1924’, Business and Economic History, vol. 18, no. 2.

Audit Standard Times

AviX Times and motion software allows to analyze the processes with or without video capture, only the stopwatch or PMTS MTM systems. The use of video technology creates a compromise between the employees and the operation. Video has many advantages, such as support for fast and accurate method analysis which provides a visual aid to communicate deviations, improvements and results.

Eliminate Waste

The study of the work with AviX Methods, allows to easily distinguish which elements of the process consume the most resources. This makes it easy to identify the areas with the greatest potential for improvement and Process Optimization. The time savings is directly simulated for various improvement proposals and provides greater decision support for future investments.

Reduces Operation Cost

The combination of times, category-element-colors, detailed videos and action notes makes AviX Times and Motion software a very flexible tool for continuous improvement and optimizatin of operating costs. Documenting a complex process has never been easier. This advantage is a must for companies that strive to be the best in the world in their Industry.

Times and Motion Studies.

With AviX Methods (Times and Motion) Module, work operations are easily balanced between different workstations and internally between operators.
The pedagogical system built into the software allows everyone working in production to get involved in improvement work.
The tool allows dividing the Operational, Non-Operational and Preparation activities before executing the activity.
Methods uses five colors to explain the Non-Value-Added activity as, Waste, Waiting or Idle, Rework, Unproductive activities and Value Added. By using AviX Method, you will soon know where the losses are and how to reduce them.



Areas of usage - Methods Module

Times Study

Facilitates the analysis, Study of Work and measurement of Times and Movements through the steps of describing, structuring, designing and planning work systems. AviX Methods module gives your company the advantage of standardizing the time measurement method, its traceability and auditing.

Standard Times

It determines the basic time, the normal time, the cycle time per activity and process from the beginning to the end of its process and according to how the type of demand generated by the client is defined. It allows to measure different cycles or samples of an activity, average times, standard deviation, tolerances and work supplements.

Improve Productivity

Strengthens Continuous Improvement and Execution performance optimization. It allows you to analyze current operations processes and determine specific and high-impact areas of opportunity. Productivity improvement strategies can be implemented to increase efficiency and production within each Work area.

Layout Optimization

It eases the evaluation of multiple layout design scenarios allowing to reduce labor costs and material flow cycle, minimizes space requirements and allows to achieve savings in operating costs.

Creation of SOPs

Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), their sections, and the information to be included in each of these sections are prepared in order to facilitate their understanding and reading in an automated way.

Simulate Labor

Optimizes the use of resources by balancing the workload with a structured step-by-step approach in a more efficient way and covering the variable or stable demand according to the type of industry.

AviX Modules

AviX Lean Software is built up of modules of functionality.
You can buy one or more modules and expand gradually as the need arises.
