The Work Measurement Series starts with the various process charts: Operations Process, Flow Process, Operator Process (Right and Left Hand), Man-Machine Process, and Simo (Memo- motion using Therblig symbols to chart). The Simo chart is rarely, if ever, used any more but was included for completeness. Each procedure gives a fast track to overall understanding of a complex procedure or operation. The process charts are useful in any study, from Facilities Management through Value Engineering, where understanding of a process or function is required. Winding up the Work Measurement series is the Element Analysis program. Since Methods Time Measurement (MTM) is of a technical nature that requires analysis by trained analysts, the Element Analysis program performs only the grunt work of filling out the various forms. Routine calculations are performed, but the analyst must use a Time Measurement Unit (TMU) chart supplied by the MTM Association. The forms do provide total seconds, minutes, and hours for each element and the total operation or method analyzed, after the analyst has filled in the motion descriptions, frequencies and TMU's. There is a summarization form also. Value Engineering, like MTM, is another area where untrained analysts could develop conclusions hazardous to good management decisions. However, if the menus are followed, a group of people could come to some functional activity simplifications. The menu steers selection of the VE team, also. The trained analyst can through the use of OVAL (Organization Value Analysis Logic) analyze the office environment for down sizing. This procedure helps to question activities or parts not supporting the intended function of the item or operation under study. Most every study should present alternative solutions for management consideration. To aid in alternative evaluation the Decision Analysis program is included. This program allows the analyst to look at the economic impact of each alternative through the use of discounted differential cash flows. It also develops salvage value for buildings and land, and develops depreciation schedules (in straight line or sum of the years methods). Amortization schedules can be generated, showing fixed payments for the entire term, single additional principle payments at specified dates, or fixed additional principle payments starting at a specified future date. This feature allows looking at various prepayment strategies to evaluate alternative strengths and weaknesses. Each of the six compound interest algorithms can be called to perform individual calculations. The next program in this version is Statistical Analysis. While there are numerous statistical programs on the market, it was felt that one should be included in the toolbox. This program uses the random number generator to develop a listing of random samples from a selected sample size. It allows the analyst to perform regression and correlation analysis. It uses universe standard deviation to avoid bias, and looks at normal distribution, `t' and chi square. The program allows repeated passes with the data until the analyst wants to quit. For those who can't let go of reference tables, normal distribution,`t', and chi square tables are provided as help screens and can be referenced for insertion data. In the Manpower Planning module, there are two programs. Complements & Schedules allows the analyst and/or the first line manager an opportunity to develop enough personnel data to schedule people. This data also gives ready reference for home address, telephone, and can be used to develop seniority listings based on accession dates. This program can also be used to build proposed schedules for recommended staffing levels developed in the Volume, Hours & Productivity program. The Volume, Hours & Productivity program allows development of volume and hour data, to develop productivity reports. It also allows use of historical data to develop average daily volumes and hours for projections into the future. With these additions, the Personal Consultant should be a fairly complete tool for the management analyst.
