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.

Don’t see your sector?

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