WorkPro Software is Based on..

WorkPro is fully based on Work Study & ‘Lean’ Principles.

• WorkPro has various specially designed features to assist you in doing Kaizen, SMED etc in your organization.

• 5S can be done quickly with the software and the data stored for later verification.

WorkPro uses the power of Multi-Media & Database Technologies to make Work Studies very simple & easy for all.


How does it Work ?

‘Work Study’ is the systematic study of the Work to create a knowledge base of ‘How, When, Where, Why, What and Who’ of the work so that the Work can be Improved.

WorkPro has special menus and features which help a person to

perform an effective & accurate Work Study using a Video of the Work. This process is called Video Work Study (VWS).

• VWS consists of Two parts

1) Video Time Study ( VTS ) – which is the same as the conventional stop watch study but done more accurately using a Video. VTS can be quickly learnt by anybody.

2) Video Methods Study ( VMS ) – is the analysis of the Work Method so that the flaws / errors / wastages can be identified and improvements can be thought of to eliminate or reduce them. VMS is a good knowledge of the Work being studied.

WorkPro Software is meant for… For Doing Continuous Improvements :

• The main thrust of the software is to improve the operations by doing WorkStudy.

• Normally, a minimum of 10 to 15% improvement in throughput is observed, when the WorkStudy is done using the WorkPro software for the First time.

• WorkPro is a catalyst for the Lean & other improvement initiatives like 5S, Kaizen & SMED.

To Demystify & Simplify Work Study :

• Work Study is a simple & very helpful science to improve our working lives and it can be learnt by all personnel. Work Study knowledge will help the organization.

• WorkPro’s Use of Video and a PC has replaced the Stop watch & Writing pad used in conventional studies. This has made Work Study ‘Offline’ and indeed simplified it too.

• All Operators, Supervisors, Engineers & Managers can learn and usefully apply it to their own work with a basic two to three hours training in using the WorkPro software.

To Create Proper Work Standards :

• To help organizations to create their own ‘Work Standards’ which are more suited to their environment than third party ‘standard’ data.


Advantages of WorkPro software..1. Improved way of doing Improvements !

Systematic Work Study : WorkPro software helps you in doing Work Study in an ‘organized, systematic & standardized way’.

Faster Rate of Improvements : It less time than conventional studies. The Productivity of People doing the Improvements are improved !

Fair Results for all : All the Studies done with the software are verifiable by anybody with the software in any place. This will help the managements & Unions in an equal way to eliminate mistrust due to differences in ‘Standard Times’ & daily Quota ‘fixations’ !

Ready Data at all Times : They can readily refer to the Data anytime they want and clear ‘doubts’ which is better than debating about a few ‘standard time’ seconds here and there !

Advantages of WorkPro software.. 2. Creation of Operations Knowledge Base

Creation of Operations Knowledge Base : Work Pro Automatically creates & stores the Work Knowledge from the Work Study in a RDBMS Database (SQL Server Express) .

It can be accessed if the database & videos are put on a central server.

You can see the Video of the operation plus the Work Study Data at the click of the button— right in your Work Station Screen.

This kind of access can save a trip to the shop floor or a phone call / air trip to a far away unit.

You can even give your own Kaizen Idea / suggestion thru a customized WorkPro software module called ‘Kaizen Viewer’.

Worker Training : Train new workers to get better work output using the operation videos – by using our ‘Training Viewer’ module.

Correct Data for Planning : You can Transfer the actual cycle time & process Data to ERP & other planning software systems so that they are effective.


Advantages of WorkPro software.. 3. Catalyst for Lean implementation ..

Easy of Implementation : Will help in easy implementation of Lean by identifying & reducing the seven wastages in all the operations.

For quickly identifying & doing Kaizen, SMED, 5S etc in your company to Improve the Quality & Quantity ( You can get about three Kaizen Ideas per five minutes of a Work Study Video).

Help in doing Ergonomic assessments to reduce the fatigue of the Worker and at the same time make them more productive.
