Since 2001, Texas A&M Engineering has been on contract at CCAD to provide support in the areas of time standards development, methods improvement presentations, economic cost benefit analysis and cycle time reduction analysis. Recommendations were made to eliminate, prevent and/or decrease identified medical and safety/health issues.
Texas A&M Engineering develops Method Improvement Presentations which are presented to CCAD personnel at the conclusion of a study to show areas of opportunity for increased productivity such as eliminating safety issues & reducing ergonomic concerns. A Return On Investment is calculated for each Method Improvement Presentation that Texas A&M Engineering develops. The ROI quantifies time savings of recommendations and illustrates the time it will take to recover the purchasing cost of the equipment. Texas A&M Engineering performs ergonomic evaluations/analysis when potential issues arise during a study.
- The scope initially included measurement of Standard Work (CAT 2 studies) and Method Improvement Studies.
- Texas A&M Engineering work now includes Pre/Post-Lean Analysis, Ergonomic Studies, Layout Optimization and Lean Six Sigma Initiatives.
- Texas A&M Engineering has become the “go-to” group for data gathering and data analysis.
