The Software for Multi-Moment Analysis

It’s time for perfect multi-moment studies

As part of the further development of TIME Tools – The REFA Tools®., the innovative software TIME Tools – MultiPro was created.
It provides another efficient REFA data collection method in digital form.

This software enables you to obtain a realistic picture of the utilization of people and machines and to identify waste.
With the results of the multi-moment analysis, you can make well-founded decisions to improve your work processes.

Why Multi-Moment Analysis (MMA)?

This tool can be used in all manufacturing and service sectors to obtain, for example, the following data:

  • Utilization or workload of work systems during a period
  • Occurring disruptions and waste
  • Distribution of task types
  • Determination of allowance time supplements

The advantage of MMA is that, while it requires careful preparation, it involves comparatively little effort, since the observer is not continuously time-bound.

With this method, the following can be determined in advance:

  • The required degree of accuracy
  • The number of necessary observations
  • The duration of the study
  • The effort required for execution

What can the software do?

The software is essentially structured into the modules Planning, Execution, and Evaluation.

  • Parameters for statistical requirements
  • Duration of the study
  • Duration of one route
  • Number of routes per shift
  • Shift and break times
