Our data collection for tablets

The tablet as time study hardware

ORTIM a6 for Windows® was developed specifically for use as time study software on your Windows® tablet. The application is intuitive to use, and the layout of the buttons can be customised to suit the user’s needs. You have direct access to all measurement functions, allowing you to react quickly to events and focus your attention entirely on evaluating the activity being observed. Text can be entered conveniently using a stylus on the touchscreen with integrated handwriting recognition. 

If studies start without preparation, the integrated on-screen keyboard can also be used. Use the camera and microphone built into your tablet to assign photo, video and audio files directly to the process section or study during the time study. Outside of measurement tasks, you can use the device as a tablet PC with full Windows® functionality (from Windows® 7). 

Freely configurable

ORTIM a6 for Windows® can be adapted to any type of time study and any evaluation rule. A virtually unlimited number of clocks allow you to record all types of time data for multi-site work: you can record cyclical and non-cyclical processes simultaneously. You can use selection criteria to mark measured values, e.g. to record batches and evaluate them separately. Standard time codes and the recording of influencing quantities enable you to generate standard time formulas from your time recording at a later stage. You can record texts for each measured value.

The convenient and powerful ORTIMzeit software is available for evaluating your time recordings.

Our data collection for Android tablets

ORTIM a6 for AndroidTM  was developed specifically for use as time study software on Android tablets. The application is intuitive to use, and the layout of the buttons is based on the needs of our users. You have direct access to all measurement functions so that you can react quickly to events.

The operating concept allows our customers to focus entirely on evaluating the activity being observed. If you start studies without preparation, you can use the integrated on-screen keyboard. 

Outside of measurement tasks, the device can be used as a tablet with Android functionality. The system requirement for this is Android version 5.0 (API21) or higher.

Freely configurable

ORTIM a6 for AndroidTM can be adapted to any type of time study and any evaluation rule. Up to 99 clocks allow all types of time recording for multi-station work: users can record cyclic and non-cyclic processes simultaneously. You can use selection criteria to mark measured values, e.g. to record batches and evaluate them separately. Standard time codes and the recording of influencing quantities enable you to generate standard time formulas from your time recording at a later stage. Texts can also be recorded for each measured value.

Mobile data collection for Android tablets

The app as a time management solution

Unlike the complete ORTIM a5 package (consisting of hardware and software), ORTIM b6 is an Android app that you can use with your own Android tablets. It has been optimised for 7 inches and larger tablets. Your studies are prepared and evaluated in our proven ORTIMzeit software. ORTIM b6 can of course also be used in combination with our other ORTIM time study devices. 

Clear and user-friendly

A clearly structured layout and intuitive navigation make the ORTIM b6 app much easier to use. Clearly designed interfaces allow users to concentrate on what is most important: creating time recordings.

Your time is worth money

The challenge

To ensure functions such as scheduling, capacity planning and calculation, time data must always be kept up to date. The standard SAP system only partially covers the functions required in time management, which is why dmc-ortim GmbH developed the CAPP Knowledge add-on. It is currently available in German, English and French. 

The solution

The CAPP Knowledge is the leading planned time system that integrates seamlessly into existing SAP environments. It is used to create, manage and query time data and uses recognised time management methods, such as the MTM and REFA procedures. 

CAPP Knowledge enables 

  • freely definable hierarchy levels and time data from any source to be recorded – from work steps to complex work processes in work plans 
  • the determination and updating of standard times 
  • the creation and maintenance of time modules 
  • identify necessary optimisation requirements across all process steps 

During development, requirements such as automatic time calculation, transparency in time management, the assignment of time modules to work processes and a wide range of evaluation options were considered.

Plan products and variants from process libraries

ERP system-independent work planning

ORTIMplan – the modular link between modern time management and the system-supported planning world of ERP systems. 

ORTIMplan is used to create work schedules or edit imported schedules: 

Select, enter parameters – and you have detailed process documentation with exact time values. 

This leaves enough time for what really matters: creative process design. REFA time data, data from Excel or from other systems with predetermined times (MTM, WORK-FACTOR) can be used as a basis. 

The link to leading planning systems offers an enormous leap in quality for operational work planning and its accuracy. Time-based remuneration systems, for example, finally have clarity – a win for everyone involved! 

ORTIMplan has a modular structure and includes the following modules: 

  • Planned times 
  • Work planning Professional 
  • Deworking 
  • Logic 
  • Sales support

Multi-moment studies
Conducted by an external party

Prepare and evaluate multi-moment studies

With ORTIMmulti, you can identify the strengths and weaknesses of your business processes – potential for improvement can be easily identified from the disruptive factors. 

The principle

For the layman, it is astonishing how accurately projections can predict final results shortly after the polls close – based solely on random sampling. 

Multimoment surveys in the field of time management work on the same principle of random observations. A relatively small amount of effort guarantees a high degree of data accuracy. Observers independently and objectively record the situations they experience at that moment. Work processes are not disrupted and data is recorded quickly. 

Observe and record

Our employees provide you with optimal support in preparation and route planning. With this methodology, people, machines and materials can be observed in parallel at many workplaces (by an uninvolved person, therefore “externally recorded”). A brief introduction is all it takes to enable even untrained personnel to collect data. This allows you to obtain sufficient data for a statistically reliable final statement within a short period of time.

Multi-moment studies
Conducted by an employee themselves

Convincing data for your organisation

ORTIMnotes is a tool that can be used to evaluate work areas, management and support processes through time management. It integrates, optimises and expands proven methods of organisational analysis. 

The data is collected at a fraction of the previous cost, as those involved in the process record their own situation. This provides you with highly meaningful data and eliminates the need for additional personnel to collect it. As a result, the findings will be widely accepted by employees.  

To map the entire company process, effort data is determined and statistically documented. In addition to the estimates that have been common practice up to now, capacity data can also be calculated. 

Notes

Short notes can be quickly jotted down at any time, and notes taken on the go are forwarded to the stationary computer workstation. 

Potential

Potential can also be analysed in support processes. The results are not only available in qualitative form, but also in frequency statements and time values. Graphical representations also provide you with a quick overview and make it easy to identify areas for change. This allows you to maximise your reserves.
