SUMMARY

The discussion centers on sourcing standard data for motion time studies, particularly in the context of a school project focused on plant layout planning. The user seeks specific data related to assembly processes to accurately determine equipment, space, and personnel requirements. A critical point raised is the variability in assembly processes across different industries, such as automotive, semiconductor, and garment manufacturing, highlighting the need for industry-specific data.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of motion time study principles
  • Familiarity with plant layout design concepts
  • Knowledge of industry-specific assembly processes
  • Basic skills in data analysis and interpretation
NEXT STEPS
  • Research industry-specific motion time study data sources
  • Explore tools for analyzing assembly line efficiency
  • Learn about ANSI/ISO standards for time studies
  • Investigate software solutions for plant layout simulation
USEFUL FOR

Students in industrial engineering, project managers in manufacturing, and professionals involved in optimizing assembly processes will benefit from this discussion.

I'm working on a school project (Plant layout). In the project, I'm in the planning phase of a new product and I need to have some standard data for motion time study (i.e. assembling) to determine equipment, space and people needed in the plant. Where can I find such data?

I don't know where you can find it but I think your specification is so vague as to be meaningless. Do you think "assembly" of a car and or silicon wafers and of men's suits are all the same?
