INTRODUCTION |

What is Work Balancing
- In many situations a team of workers will sequentially work on a product or service. Common
examples in industrial settings are automated production lines, while in service settings we
have claims processing or fast food operations.
- Work balancing tries to evaluate what the target outputs rate should be and what is the utilization
level of the workers.

What is the Work*Balance Solution
- Work*Balance combines classical work measurement analysis with process flow analysis to provide a detailed evaluation of the worker
utilization levels in the system being studied. Key metrics that Work*Balance provides are:
(i) Work Activity Study Chart
(ii) Standard Cycle Time & Maximum Output Rate
(iii) Worker Utilization & Balance Level
(iv) Non-Value Adding Cycle Time
(v) Worker Balance Strategy
- Management will use the results of the Work*Balance analysis to determine if the process needs to be rebalanced and what
redesign is needed to meet future needs or to increase the oputput of the current process.
