Sectors
Built for manufacturing, ready for more
Our tools grew out of heavy-machinery assembly lines. The questions they answer — how long does it take, where is the waste, what should change first — apply wherever work is repeated.
Manufacturing
Industrial sectors
Heavy machinery & equipment
Long assembly cycles, heavy lifts and crane waits — the work our tools were first designed around.
Automotive OEMs & suppliers
Yamazumi and standard work across Tier 1–3 lines, with multi-language teams.
Metal fabrication & machining
Job-shop studies and frequent changeovers on presses, lathes and machining centres.
Shipbuilding, rail & energy equipment
Studies lasting hours or days, several observers, photos attached to every step.
Aerospace & defence
Traceable studies with an audit trail, roles, and on-premise or data-residency options.
Electronics & contract manufacturing
Short, high-volume cycles where video review catches what the eye misses.
Medical devices
Time and ergonomics studies that can feed quality records when required.
Appliances, HVAC, furniture & prefab
Mixed-model assembly lines that need balancing every time the mix changes.
Food, beverage & meat processing
Repetitive, ergonomics-heavy work — with gloved-hand interfaces and washdown-rated tablets.
Beyond the factory
The same methods, other workplaces
Time studies, work sampling and ergonomic assessments are just as useful in a warehouse, a ward or a kitchen.
Warehousing & logistics
Pick, pack and dock studies, and engineered labour standards per task.
Occupational health & physiotherapy
Workplace ergonomic assessments for employers, with branded client reports.
Hospitals, labs & pharmacies
Nursing workflow, operating-room turnover and emergency flow — with no patient data by design.
Restaurants & quick service
Kitchen station timing, prep and drive-through, rolled up across locations.
Airline ground handling & MRO
Aircraft turnaround and maintenance task times, with several teams timed in parallel.
Hotels & housekeeping
Room turnaround standards per property.
Retail & grocery
Stocking, checkout and receiving standards, compared across stores.
Field service & utilities
Wrench time and technician work sampling on a phone or tablet.
Universities & training
Classroom licences for industrial engineering and lean courses.
How we adapt to a new sector
Most of the work is in the words and the templates, not the software.
Your vocabulary
Stations, cells, bays, rooms or stores — every label speaks your team’s language.
Starter templates
Typical steps, necessary tasks and wastes for your sector, ready on day one.
Reports that fit
Report wording, units and exports matched to how your sector measures work.
Sector requirements
Audit trails, gloved-hand interfaces, washdown hardware or data residency where needed.

If people in your organisation repeat a task, we can probably help measure and improve it.
