A. Draw a to-the-scale floor plan of work area and fix it on board
B. Take measured thread and ask worker to begin the task
C. Fix pins on plan wherever the worker changes path
D. On completion measure the leftover thread and deduct this length from the total thread length to know time and distance travelled by the worker
E. Keep on tying the thread on the pins wherever the worker goes and note the time also
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Sequencing Pathway Analysis Steps
Pathway analysis involves observing and measuring worker movement to improve efficiency. The steps must be performed in a logical order:
-
A. Draw a to-the-scale floor plan of work area and fix it on board
This is the initial step, creating a visual map of the workspace.
-
C. Fix pins on plan wherever the worker changes path
Mark critical points or changes in direction on the floor plan.
-
B. Take measured thread and ask worker to begin the task
Start the actual observation or task execution, having the measuring tool (thread) ready.
-
E. On completion measure the leftover thread and deduct this length from the total thread length to know time and distance travelled by the worker
Measure the path distance covered by the worker on the plan using the thread.
-
D. On completion measure the leftover thread and deduct this length from the total thread length to know time and distance travelled by the worker
Final step to analyze the collected data, determining the time and distance travelled.
Therefore, the correct sequence is A, C, B, E, D.
