Abstract :
Economies of scales and scope approaches contributes towards the effective use of resource utilization which alternatively results in production enhancement, and improvement in economics indicators. Among various approaches to accomplish the concept of scale production, time and motions study plays a vital role to visualize and enhance the resource consumption and its economic value. In this paper, an implementation approach of time and motions mechanism is applied to track a manual task with the help of a kinematic model from images. The current method practiced in the industry is segregated according to different operations in the manufacturing setup and analyzed on the basis of charts, capturing frames of workers motions. At certain stages stopwatch technique is also used. The results of this research indicate that company’s overall performance has significantly increased with the reduction in process duration.
