Work
As an apprentice, you’ll work at a company and get hands-on experience. You’ll gain new skills and work alongside experienced staff.
What you’ll do at work
* Time & motion is an evaluation of work cycles. It involves using UAS which are studies of movement that are evaluated with a timing.
* This is cross referenced with a basis of time allowance given by a manufacturing engineer to complete a certain operation.
* The time study engineer's role is to build up an operation to maximise efficiency.
* The allowance for the build-up of a job is value added work (engineer time given) & waste (collection of parts, walking, waiting).
* The idea is to build the job to the most efficient method, meaning the job is mainly value added & waste minimised.
