Wasted Motion does not happen at one time - it's 20 seconds here and 10 seconds there, making it difficult to identify. Not only is waste hard to identify but also very costly over a year in dollars and productivity.

MotionMeter by Newcastle Systems is a free user-friendly warehouse and shop floor productivity tracking tool that enables you to quickly perform time studies by capturing the time of core processes within your business. It can help you identify which task of your business process is NECESSARY (Value Add) or WASTE (non-Value Add).
