Layout Factors (Δ Delta Operations)
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...

Adding Parts/Tools
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...
Import Plants, Parts, Processes, Tools and variant codes
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...
Product Structures
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 ...
Value Part / Fastener
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...
Operations - "How is it Done?"
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...
Standard Time Analysis
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...
Activities
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 ...
Problems view
The problems view can scan for and list potential problems with the AVIX data.
Activity Classes
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...
Location code
Location code is functionality to describe where on a product a process task is performed. Typically this is used on larger products where several operators work at the same time.
Use of Force
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...
Bad Ergonomics
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...
Using the Stopwatch
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...

Special Cases
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...
