How to develop a better methodGraphic Tools for the analysis5W + 1H QuestionsECRSChecklistsMore details: Micromotion study

What is done?Who does the work? Where is the work done? When is the work done?How is the work done?

Output of the questionssObjectives of the workCreativity: Could any other people do this work better in other place, at other time, using other method?

Along with 5W1H, TRY US!Eeliminate all unnecessary workCcombine operations (elements of work)Rrearrange sequence of operationsSsimplify the necessary operations

Improve the equipment performanceIs current production lot size too large or too small?

Create and Change the layout to eliminate distanceIncrease the lot size per tripDo the loading & unloading time take too long?Improve transportation equipment

Create Improve inspection method Are the quality inspections and volume inspections being done at separate processes? Try to combine the two at the same process

Can we create to eliminate temporary storage? Can retention times be shorten?
