Improve speed, capacity, overall costs & productivity. Smart Productive Workstations.

It can help you identify which step of the process is NECESSARY (Value Add) or WASTE (non-Value Add). It’s also an ideal tool to capture data of specific steps (or tasks) in lieu of performing a full-scale process time study.
