For many engineers developing labor or work standards is a process undertaken using a stopwatch. This approach can be very time consuming. With EASEworks® and a standard data approach it is now both much faster and easier to develop the required standards.

The complete portable solution for performing time studies and sampling studies that does all the tedious work of data transfer and analysis for you.

Identify the breakthrough factors for process or product improvement. Design-Ease software helps you set up and analyze general factorial, two-level factorial, fractional factorial (up to 15 variables) and Plackett-Burman designs (up to 31 variables). With these designs you can quickly screen for critical factors and their interactions.

Reach the peak of performance with your process or formulation. Design-Expert includes all of the features of Design-Ease, plus provides in-depth analysis of process factors or mixture components. Combine mixture and process variables in your designs. Design-Expert offers rotatable 3D plots to help you visualize your response surface. Explore the 2D contours with your mouse, setting flags along the way to identify coordinates and predict responses. The sweet spot where all your requirements are met can be found via the program's numerical optimization function, which finds the most desirable factor settings for up to 12 responses simultaneously!

The basis for ergonomic research and design is based on the knowledge that operators are more productive when the work environment is designed for the best human performance. Productivity is improved in two ways, the elimination of non–value added work and achieving the full potential of the operator by designing the work environment correctly.

The OEE Toolkit makes equipment effectiveness easy to understand, brings hidden capacity to light and reveals hidden losses. Double your production at only half the costs.
