ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus are disclosed for measuring the efficiency of a manufacturing technician in the performance of selected operations within a computer based manufacturing process. A manufacturing process plan is stored within a computer system having a visual display. Those operations within the manufacturing process plan having a known labor standard time value are identified and the labor standard time value for each such operation is stored within the computer system. Upon the initiation of an operation having a known labor standard time value a graphic representation, such as an hourglass, is automatically presented displaying the amount of elapsed time since initiation of the selected operation and the amount of time remaining within the labor standard time. In one embodiment of the present invention, the elapsed time value may be stored, upon the temporary suspension of the selected operation, and subsequently displayed upon the reactivation of the suspended operation.
