The time measuring is prepared in the “Sections" tab. This is where the individual sections that belong to a time study are created and edited.
Ribbon Process sections
The ribbon offers the following functions:
Menu item |
Meaning |
Cycle |
|
|
Add a single cycle or several cycles in steps of 5 or 10 at the end |
|
Delete single cycle or the last cycles in steps of 5 or 10 |
|
|
|
Add, edit or delete a process section |
Calculation |
|
|
If the check box is active, the times are recalculated automatically for each change. |
|
If the checkbox is active, the crossed-out times are displayed "durchgestrichen" in ti. |
|
Here you can change the time input of cycles. Depending on the selection, the flyback or cumulative time can be edited. |
|
Crosses out the time of the current cycle in the current process section. |
|
The measured values are "zurückgesetzt": Times, performance levels, additional sections, and deletions are deleted. However, the sections and their influencing factors are retained. |
View |
|
|
Shows or hides the statistics, i.e. the evaluation of the single cycles at the end of the table. |
Insert / edit additional sections
Additional sections are interruptions. If, for example, the person carrying out a measurement/activity has a coughing fit, this can be recorded as an interruption. Additional sections are added by clicking on the "Insert/edit" button in the "Additional sections" group. This interruption is subtracted from the calculated time. You can add several additional sections per cycle:
Insert/edit additional process section In the "Insert/edit additional section" dialog box, existing additional sections can be inserted or edited, new ones added or deleted using the drop-down list. In addition, you can switch back and forth between all available additional sections of the time study. Input mode: •Starts •Ends •Description – after opening the drop-down list, it is possible to enter additional descriptions by clicking the "Add new standard text..." option. This option is only active if a user is assigned the administrator role. If a user does not have the role, the administrator must add new standard texts at the appropriate position; see chapter "Zusatzabschnitte". A red triangle in the upper right corner of a cell indicates that an additional section is stored. If you move the mouse pointer to the triangle, you can read the duration and description of the interruption. Clicking the "Insert/edit" button again will reopen the dialog box for making changes. When entering an additional section, the ti is always corrected, i.e. the time of the additional section never changes the cumulative time, but influences the target time of the process sections.

How to deal with crossed out times in the calculation and evaluation
•When evaluating process sections (Evaluation per row), a crossed out cycle is omitted, so as if it had not been entered.
•When evaluating cycles (Evaluation per column) and the statistics, a cycle, which includes at least one crossed out process section, is completely omitted, so as if had not been entered.
Display of a crossed out time
By deleting cycle times, existing time studies can be used as template. The following two options are available:
1.Select the desired time study in Explorer and select "Duplicate" in the context menu or ribbon. In the dialog that opens, activate the "Delete cycle times" checkbox.
2.Select the Delete times button in the ribbon of an open time study.
Evaluation of process sections
Note: |
Times measured with the app are locked in the program. |
After performing a time measuring, the measured times cannot be changed.
Note: |
It is possible to create non-cyclical time measurements with TiCon. However, it should be noted that at least two cycles must be measured to calculate ε. Other values such as standard deviation or variance can also only be calculated from at least two cycles. |
