STUDY SETUP

Study Details

Area, station, shift, and standards — set once before timing.

IDENTITY

AREA / CELL

STATION

DATE

OPERATION / JOB NAME

SHIFT

PRODUCTION

OBSERVED OPERATOR

PART NUMBER / SKU

GOALS

Optional improvement targets — separate from customer Takt in the TAKT calculator.

STUDY / LINE GOAL (seconds)

Overall cycle or line target for this study.

PROCESS GOAL (seconds)

WACT target for this station or process.

STANDARDS

ALLOWANCE %

Standard Time = Avg × (1 + allowance%)

LINE TOOLS

TAKT · WACT · OR%

Station capability and staffing operating rate in one place.

Station process capability — TAKT = available productive minutes ÷ customer demand. WACT comes from this study. Switch to Staffing OR% for actual vs expected output.

CUSTOMER DEMAND / LINE SPEED (units per shift)

SHIFT LENGTH (hours)

BREAKS + NVA (minutes)

Available Work Time: — min

= (shift hours × 60) – breaks/NVA

Per-station signals. Use Line Balance & Reporting for multi-station line metrics.

Operating rate — OR% = actual output ÷ expected / target output × 100. Expected is editable; use the fill buttons to pull from demand or WACT capacity above.

TARGET / EXPECTED OUTPUT (units)

This is the number OR% compares against — change it anytime.

OPERATORS / STATIONS

ACTUAL OUTPUT (units in period)

Actual output: —

Example: expected 240 units, actual 210 → OR% = 88%. Demand and shift live on the TAKT & WACT tab.

STUDY COMPOSITION

Link Sub-Process Studies

Reference completed atomic studies as sub-processes. Timing data is not copied — each study keeps its own observations and audit trail.

Only atomic studies shown. Same area prioritized. Composite nesting is not supported in this release.

ELEMENT TEMPLATES

Copy or Import Elements

Replace swaps your full element list. Add block appends names prefixed with [Process]. Observations and times are never copied.

Only element-based studies shown. Current area prioritized.

WTL

Send Alert to TMOs

Message appears in assigned TMOs’ notification inbox for the selected area.

ADD NEW AREA

New area lets you assign TMOs and start studies for it.

ADMIN REFERENCE

Help & Advanced

Workflow tips, power tools, and roadmap — separate from workspace setup.

Core workflow (happy path)

Sign in → Create study → Setup (area, station, allowance)
Define Elements — START timer, ELEMENT LAP per task, FINALIZE ELEMENTS on last task
Time Cycles — record full cycles; optional Element Lap splits inside a cycle
SAVE DRAFT or SUBMIT → generate Standardization Document (PDF) from Studies list

Advanced capture tools

TAKT & WACT — customer demand, shift length, headroom
Goals — optional study/process/element targets
Periodic work, Work instructions, Linked sub-processes
Copy / Import Elements — names only, no observations

Reporting & exports

Line balance compares station WACT across areas. Per-study exports: CSV, JSON, Kaizen CSV, Std Doc PDF.

Data & roles

Data lives in browser localStorage on this device
Backup & Restore — export JSON anytime; import as Merge (safe) or Replace (Admin only)
TMO: edit own cell · WTL: read + approve · Operator: read-only · Admin: full access
PWA install — offline read of saved studies via service worker

Known limitations & roadmap

Large WI photos can fill storage — keep images under 800 KB
PDF export uses html2pdf.js; fallback is browser print

QUICK GUIDE

LINE-LEVEL VIEW

Line Balance & Reporting

Individual studies capture timing at one station or element. Line-level TACT, balance, and performance metrics are calculated when multiple station studies are viewed together here.

SELECT AREAS / LINES (max 4)

Check one area for the classic view, or up to four to compare line balance side-by-side.

WACT COMPARISON (sec/unit)

Grouped by Station field from each study. Bars show WACT per study; longest bar in the area is line TACT. Red marker = customer Takt target.

BACKUP & RESTORE · DATA SAFETY

Your studies live in this browser only. A backup file is the insurance policy against updates, cleared cache, or a new device.

Export downloads a full TimeTrack backup JSON (studies, areas, users, settings).
Import → Merge adds/updates by study ID (keeps the newer copy) — safe default.
Import → Replace overwrites everything on this device — use only when restoring deliberately.
App updates do not delete local data, but a backup still protects you if storage is wiped.

PLANT INTEGRATION (DORMANT BY DEFAULT)

Default Standalone keeps all timing and PDF work offline with no plant connection. Enable Ignition-ready to unlock optional tag mapping and SCADA handoff JSON exports for Herman Miller / Inductive Automation rollout later.

Standalone — testing & shop-floor use only (recommended now) Ignition-ready — tag mapping in Study Details + SCADA handoff downloads
