A last study which I want to share (I have to stop at some stage as there are endless ones to talk about) is a machine utilisation study. This is especially interesting in a manufacturing environment where clients normally want to make sure that machines are running non-stop so that they get a higher return on investment.
The consultant, normally whilst observing a production supervisor on the shopfloor, also has a look at a selected set of machines. He checks every 5 minutes whether those machines are running, not running, broke down, or being repaired. On a pie chart afterwards one can see the utilisation degree on that very day.
