ABSTRACT:
Preferred embodiments include receiving input defining dimensions for a workcell and a size and location for one or more objects within the workcell, receiving input defining a walking velocity for an operator within the workcell and one or more tasks to be completed during a workcell cycle, receiving input defining one or more times and locations to complete the one or more tasks within the workcell, calculating a total walking time to complete the one or more tasks during the workcell cycle based upon the size and location of the object(s), the time(s) and location(s) to complete the task(s) and the operator walking velocity, and outputting the total walking time for the workcell cycle and a graphical representation of the workcell including the object(s) and an operator walking path between points within the workcell at which the one or more tasks are completed.
