Thanks a lot. Just one query I have is what is the Auto time that you have mentioned here coz most of the processes here in my organisation in the Assembly dept is manual. Please advice.

I have built a few complicated versions of this, but they don't work as easily. Good work Ron. I have built a few complicated versions of this, but they don’t work as easily.

There are a number of ways to handle this. In the past, I've noted things with both a measure of central tendency (mean or median) and a measure of dispersion (standard deviation or range). Often times this is powerful since "moving the mean" is not always the key issue at hand. If this approach is taken then your daily outputs could be stated as min, average (or median), and max. This complicates things for sure but may be a more reliable approach. I'd be interested to hear how other people handle this. Thanks for the great question, Scott.

I really like the simplicity. Thanks for sharing. One question I have would be accounting for variability, especially for the process times. What are your thoughts on addressing variability in models and tools? I've had success in using monte carlo simulation in the past but it can be tricky communicating the results as people are often used to point estimates. I'd greatly value your comments on this if you have any. thanks again! Great video and tool. I really like the simplicity. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for taking the time to do these types of videos. I've done some of these types of tutorials for work and know they take hours to edit. At least they took me hours. Loved it!
