The Methods-Time Measurement (MTM) tool has been gaining ground for offering costeffective solutions for products/services, focusing on time reduction and wastage elimination. Aiming at the optimization of operations, this research aimed to evaluate the operational results from the MTM tool in a medium-sized beauty salon in the Tianguá-CE city. To carry out the study, the services provided by the salon were evaluated to verify the one that was most relevant, highlighting the services of manicure and pedicure. In these services, a diagnosis of the current scenario was carried out, and MTM were applied to identify opportunities for their optimization. After obtaining the results and analyzing them, it was possible to reduce unnecessary activities by 54.61% in the pedicure service and 62.57% in the manicure service, resulting in more agile, efficient, and low-cost services. In addition to reducing unnecessary activities, this improvement was possible through the standardization of the other activities that make up the service and the reorganization of the layout. Therefore, it is concluded that the application of the MTM provided gains in productivity and in the quality of the service provided, as there was a reduction in waste and greater agility in the service.

“…Task Analysis methods cannot simultaneously represent human operators [22] as a set of dynamically bounded cognitive resources and the environmental components that influence human actions. Therefore, the majority of Task Analysis works focus on a limited subset of interactions between mainly physical actions such as MTM [23] or only cognitive processes [24].…”

The future deployment of single pilot operations must be supported by new cockpit computer services. Such services require an adaptive context-aware integration of technical functionalities with the concurrent tasks that a pilot must deal with. Advanced artificial intelligence supporting services and improved communication capabilities are the key enabling technologies that will render future cockpits more integrated with the present digitalized air traffic management system. However, an issue in the integration of such technologies is the lack of socio-technical analysis in the design of these teaming mechanisms. A key factor in determining how and when a service support should be provided is the dynamic evolution of pilot workload. This paper investigates how the socio-technical model-based systems engineering approach paves the way for the design of a digital assistant framework by formalizing this workload. The model was validated in an Airbus A-320 cockpit simulator, and the results confirmed the degraded pilot behavioral model and the performance impact according to different contextual flight deck information. This study contributes to practical knowledge for designing human-machine task-sharing systems.

The purpose of this article is to present a methodology to identify and reduce waste considering Lean construction tools, time and motions study techniques. This investigation was carried out during the construction of 1,392 housing units located in Lima, Perú. The present case study focused on the analysis of highly repetitive processes during the structuring and finishing phases. The methodology presented has different stages. First, we used direct field observation to describe the current state of the work structuring. Second, we applied Value Stream Mapping (VSM) and Flow Process Chart in order to identify the productive stream, focusing in the identification of value adding activities and waste: no value adding necessary activities and no value adding unnecessary activities. Then we prepared and analyzed the information. Finally, with the lessons learned, we ideated and tested improvements in the organization of the work and design of the flows of labor, materials and equipment, among others. The success of this methodology is reflected on the reduction of waste and the improvement of labor productivity obtained in the final measurements and in the improvement opportunities identified.
