In cases where a more detailed stopwatch analysis is needed, the extended AVIX stopwatch palette can be used. This requires the module AVIX Stopwatch time Study. Watch video: Stopwatch analysis The functionality is quite straight forward, with or wit...

As previously described, a stopwatch time is generated every time a new task is created (given that a movie is connected). However, this generates ◼gray color (unclassified time) in the method result pie chart. But, it is still possible to classify the tasks ...

Sometimes when working with a time/method analysis it is useful to sort out factors that are related to the layout. It can be ergonomic factors or transportation due to the layout. Once the actual assembly sequence has been created, it’s possible to add layou...

Watch video: Create tools and parts Watch video: Add tools and parts to tasks Watch video: Adjust quantity of tools and parts used in a task Parts and tools can be added while you are creating tasks. This is optional but is needed if par...

Almost anything related to the necessary dataset can be imported from Excel to AVIX. In AVIX there’s a built-in wizard to import from Excel (.xls/.xlsx). Following steps below is the same regardless of what attribute is being imported. How it works: Click...

AVIX also features a specific assembly view to allow for more BOM focused workflow This will open up the part with the assembly in a new BOM focused view. Drag and drop is available from within the assembly view and also from the parts view. The assembly ...

The parts added/imported to AVIX, must be categorized in order to get the correct coloring during the standard time analysis. This can also be done during the Excel import. Value Part Value parts are parts that are bought or made in house and that adds cu...

A process task contains a number of naturally connected operations which are the lowest level in the Method tree structure.The operation is created by selecting a task and pressing. At the operation level, the Standard time analysis is performed, either by th...

Once tasks have been created and part/tools added, it’s possible to create operations and go on with the standard time analysis. Watch video: MTM Based AVIX Create operation. Select start/stop positions (same methodology as for tasks). Select par...

The activities in AVIX are used to describe the operation and to help define the added color. Activity Explanation Example ◼ Take Taking things Get a part from shelf ◼ Place Placing things Place part or tool on table to be assembled ...

The different activity classes in AVIX that are used to define standard times are based on complete movements, e.g. ”Back and forth”. The activity class (standard time) is based on the length and difficulty of the movement. These two factors are a natural way...

When an operator needs to apply force, to affix, lift or pull something, the natural movement stops due to muscle tension. Therefore applying force will increase the time used to perform the movement. Use of force in AVIX is symbolized by UOF and has a standa...

When an operator needs to use extreme body movements, especially when working repetitively, there is a risk of injury. An important aspect of the improvement work is to identify bad ergonomics. Also, it is often easier to work ergonomically. Bending means tha...

The stopwatch is used when it’s not possible to analyze the work, this could be due to complex movements (e.g. handling cables), when the movement is inhibited or machine time. An inhibited movement means that the movement is not natural, this occurs when the...

There are some extra tricky cases to analyze, following are some examples and how to analyze themNote the difference between assembling (value adding) and handling operations in AVIX: ◼ Assemble: Only the movement of placing the part in its final location i...

This is an explanation of the color bar seen in the Balance chart of the Resource Balance module. If you have anoperator A, performing Task A of 100s andoperator B, performing Task B of 80s,then they are not equally balanced.This is called an internal loss an...

Watch video: Group task If you want to simplify/reduce the number of process steps, you can create a more compact task structure (e.g. to fit work instructions), by using the “group selected objects” functionality. Customized reports can support diff...

Adding/working with notes is an important way of working with improvements in AVIX. By creating a note directly when a problem or idea appears, you create very useful data to log and track suggestions and problems. Select a level in the tree to add a ...

The notes tab is very useful to get a quick overview of all details regarding the analysis e.g. problems, used tools and parts. Select a level in the tree to show notes and click the notes tab. Show selected tree level notes only or recurse to inclu...

Description in operation is used in the work instruction report and describes the operation in more detail. Note summary is used in the Action report and is used for things that need to be followed up. A note has a status, priority, type, responsible, versio...
