Abstract
A standard time system provides a methodology and structure to calculate standard times for both manufacturing tasks and support tasks, based on task specific formulas, recursive algorithms for breaking down tasks into any granularity of actions and steps, routing structures for defining standard routing and alternative routing, and a linking matrix to link all related attributes such that a change in one variable value and/or calculated standard time is propagated through the entire manufacturing process. Access to the standard time system is provided by a visualization tool, which includes a graphical user interface (GUI). The visualization tool provides the user a visual representation of the full manufacturing process and the means for defining, recording and maintaining the related data and structure. Individual tasks are defined for the manufacturing of each product, and standard times are attributed to each defined task by formula based calculations.
