Industrial Stopwatch
About the Industrial Stopwatch
Lean and operations teams live in cycle time - changeover minutes, assembly seconds, downtime between runs - and industrial stopwatch puts that measurement in any supervisor pocket without issuing another dedicated device fleet. Lap each changeover step - last good piece, strip, clean, align, first good piece - and the trail shows which step always eats the budget. Line balancing studies lap each station as product moves; export CSV into the team spreadsheet and the bar chart updates without clipboard transcription errors. Maintenance samples repair durations across shifts.
How to use it
- Define operational definitions for each lap point with the team.
- Start at last good piece or study start per SMED convention.
- Lap each changeover or station step at agreed boundaries.
- Export CSV into the team cycle-time workbook.
- Review trails in kaizen meeting before changing standard work.
Good to know
The stopwatch counts while this tab is open. A slept tab can pause or jump. For a race result you may need to keep the phone unlocked in your hand.
