Identifying Time-Consuming Human Modelling Tool Activities

Blomé, Mikael LU ; Hanson, Lars LU ; Lämkull, Dan ; Nielsen, Emma and Stam, Jenny (2006) Digital human modeling for design and engineering conference, 2006
Abstract
The aim of this study was to identify and measure time-consuming human modelling tool activities. Five human modelling tool users at Volvo were observed for five days each. The results showed a wide distribution of both indirect and direct working tasks, as well as non-value added tasks such as waiting time. Most of the activities identified appear to be necessary to perform human modelling simulations of high quality. However, the time distribution could be questioned to some extent. There are many activities associated with communication, including a variety of contacts and meetings, where there appears to be potential to increase efficiency
