Determine the Time Share
Shunting usually takes place in a defined area, such as the goods in/out lines. Therefore, the time in the process can be approximated by longer stays in these areas.
A
Motion-Mining®
Within Motion-Mining®, regions can be defined and the total time spent in certain regions can be determined. When manoeuvring, employees are in the region for a longer period of time, whereas they usually only enter the region for a short time when loading or unloading. Therefore, the time for manoeuvring can be determined by calculating the time spent in the defined area in segments of x seconds. (x depends on the process, but can be approximated as, for example, 1 - 1.5 minutes).
If a vehicle is used, only the proportion of driving time in the considered area can be used to restrict the definition.
B
Process Observation and Time Recording
In a process observation, duration and frequency can be recorded using a tally sheet or app.
2
Calculate Savings Potential
The savings potential is highly dependent on the measure chosen. Depending on the case, it may be possible to reduce all or part of the shunting activity.
3
RoI Calculation
The RoI is calculated by extrapolating the potential savings per day and per person to the number of employees and working days per year. This is compared with the cost of the measure.
