This paper discusses the development and implementation of a computer-based system to assist automotive engineers in the selection of work procedures and the computation of the associated total build-up time. Once the detailed design was approved by the customer, programming of the standard process time values analysis system began. It was followed by a comprehensive system test, as well as development of both user and maintenance manuals. Before implementing the program, the information system underwent a comprehensive series of tests. The tests checked for system accuracy and efficiency. Carefully designed scenarios were entered into the system and the output confirmed for correctness. Upon completion and verification of the system, the software was installed at the plant. The developed vehicle standard process time values analysis system is capable of discerning between value-adding and non-value adding time activities as well as interpreting different code rules for aligned work procedures.
