ProTime Estimation
Value

Most everyone at your company understands the importance of accurate time standards.
(affects the costing and pricing of products, planning of work, determining production performance, etc.)

ProTime Estimation
Value

Most everyone at your company understands the importance of accurate time standards.
(affects the costing and pricing of products, planning of work, determining production performance, etc.)

Therefore, it is easy to understand the value of using software increase the accuracy of time standards.
(versus inaccurate manual methods using paper, pencil, stopwatch, and then MS Excel)

Leaders in Process and Industrial Engineering

Time Standards
Current Issues
How are time studies frequently performed today?
Paper, pencil, stopwatch Transfer data to MS Excel Perform calculations and analysis in MS Excel

Current methods to determine time standards are lengthy and prone to human error.

Impossible to check the accuracy of a stopwatch study (cannot check an observed time or rating).
Without engineering software, time and work improvement studies are being performed today as best they can be.

Leaders in Process and Industrial Engineering

Time Standards
Current Issues Addressed
Use of software for time studies and work improvement is beneficial:
Enables video time study (less offensive to operators, much more accurate standards) Automatic calculation of the various parts of the study (faster studies & more accurate data) Easier justification of time standards (team review video of the work study) Automatic reporting (saves engineering time, better management presentation) Automated analysis of Value Added & Non-Value Added work content (for work improvement)

ProTime Estimation allows users to have & compare 3 different types of times for each time standard:
Estimated Times Observed Times (real-time or video time studies) Calculated Time (PMTS systems MTM (various), Basic MOST, MODAPTS)

Proplanners MS Excel-like data entry grids allow for easy insert, delete, cut, copy and paste functionality.

Pre-determined Motion Time Systems (PMTS)

ProTime Estimation also allows users to perform faster and more accurate PMTS motion studies, which use pre-determined times, instead of observed times. ProTime Estimation comes with the codes for the following PMTS systems:
MTM-1 MTM-UAS MTM-B Basic MOST MODAPTS

Additionally, customers can create custom codes for these PMTS systems and use them along with the standard codes.
