Case 1: Speed up the data validation process:

DOUBLE-E allows users to review through the analysis approach and the way that the result is obtained, therefore the result of the analysis could be validated at a shorter time.

Problem:

For the past, an automobile manufacturer has been practicing conventional time study using stop watch. However, the production department is not convinced with the timing measured by the engineering department as the difference could vary from 10% to as much as 40% from person to person. Nobody was able to explain the differences.

 Improvement:

DOUBLE-E enables both departments to review through video and records together and the differences can be identified, addressed and resolved immediately. The timing was validated at a much shorter time.

Case 2: Reduce time and engineering cost in conducting a time study

DOUBLE-E has helped to reduce the time taken to set-up the standard time.

Problem:

It took almost 5 working days to use a stop watch to take down the equipment set-up time in a certain semiconductor company in Malaysia .

Improvement

The use of DOUBLE-E has enabled them to complete the time taking process with 4 hours. The improvement was 90%.

Case 3: Easier in identify area for improvement

The use of DOUBLE-E has helped production to identify many extra or unwanted movements which are hard to identify by normal conventional method in their production process.

 Problem

It is difficult to identify and record down the unwanted movements by observation. Analyst needs to juggle with stop watch, clip board, stationary, thinking and recording process simultaneously. This is especially not possible for analyzing movements that have short duration.

 Effect

By using Double-E, a Korean electronic company that is within top 50 world manufacturer has improved their productivity by more than 10%. Furthermore, the Duo Screen mode has enabled the management to compare between a skilled operator and a new operator to determine the training need.
