Patent ID: 8000997

Claim:
A method of producing a movie of a working activity at an actual working speed and of setting a standard working speed for the working activity, said method comprising the steps of: obtaining data relying on an actual worker performing a human step of the working activity as a first set of motion elements that are moving images; obtaining data relying on a machine performing a machine step of the working activity as a second set of motion elements that are moving images; analyzing, using a computer, the first set of moving images and the second set of moving images; tentatively determining a standard working speed based on the first set of moving images and the second set of moving images thus analyzed; simulating a maximum working speed which a theoretical worker could realize by multiplying the first set of motion elements obtained by an operational accelerating number (x) using a computer; evaluating whether the tentatively determined standard working speed is proper or not proper based on the simulated maximum working speed; and setting a standard working speed based on a proper result obtained by the evaluation step.
