- Time Study Calculator V. 1.38
-
- This is a simple program that will calculate the man hours
- needed to produce a given number of parts in an eight hour
- shift. You also have the option of calculate labor cost based
- on the hourly pay rate. All calculations are made at 70%, 80%,
- 90%, 100% efficiency and written to a file called TIME.DAT
- which may be viewed or printed from the MAIN MENU. In addition to this I
- have also added an EFFICIENCY CALCULATOR which will calculate
- the efficiency of a process based on your standard. This part of
- the program also creates a TEXT file called EFF.DAT which may be
- viewed or printed from the MAIN MENU.
-
- NOTE: 100% efficiency is based on a 57.5 minute hour which
- is equal to an eight hour shift with two ten minute
- breaks.
-
-
- Update Information
-
- V.1.10: Initial release.
-
- V.1.20: Added the EFFICIENCY part of the program.
-
- V.1.21: Small BUG was found when asked; "Would you like to
- make another calculation." the program would jump
- to the MAIN MENU instead of the data entry area.
- This has been corrected.
-
- V.1.30: Added file viewing and printing to the program.
- Files from previous versions had to be viewed from
- DOS.
-
- V.1.31: Minor fixes plus added a "WARNING" in the MAN HOUR
- calculator warning you if the parts needed exceeds
- the parts possible per shift.
-
- V.1.32: Added the option of useing a number other than 10
- parts for the sample time in MAN HOUR calculations.
-
- Added "Setup Time" field.
-
- V.1.33: Program now calculates Sub-Total for MAN HOURS & LABOR
- COST.
-
- File printing much cleaner plus added a "Header"
- and option of adding a TITLE, TO and FROM to the
- report.
-
- V.1.34: An error was found when entering TITLE, TO and FROM
- for the EFFICIENCY report. That part of the program
- would repeat itself a second time. This has been
- fixed.
-
- There is a problem when you first run the program and
- answer [N]o when asked if you want to delete the current
- TIME.DAT or EFF.DAT file. The program gives inaccurate
- calculations for the Sub-Totals. Now, when you first
- startup the program it defaults [Y]es erasing any
- previously entered data so, keep this in mind when
- you run the program. Once you run one of the
- calculations and return to the MAIN MENU the option
- is available until you exit the program.
-
- Added a NUMBER OF COPIES field for the REPORT part
- of the program.
-
- V.1.35: The BUG in the previous version has been corrected
- so data from the last time you ran the program will
- not be lost.
-
- Added a "[REC. #x] field in the data entry areas
- to show the record number that you are entering.
-
- The distribution disk now contains only three files,
- TSC.EXE, TSC.DAT and this file. The other files will be
- created the first time you run the program.
-
- V.1.36: Added "No Records in this file" and "No Records to
- print" prompts during the VIEW and PRINT commands
- if no records are found.
-
- V.1.37: No longer necessary to press [ENTER] after
- responding to prompts like [Y]es, [N]o, [Q]uit
- ect..
-
- Program no longer will ask, 'Do you wish to delete
- the current TIME.DAT or EFF.DAT file?' if no file is
- found.
-
- Added a NOTE: at the end of the TIME STUDY REPORT
- to show how the calculations were made at 100%, 90%,
- 80% and 70%.
-
- V.1.38: A minor BUG was found in the last update. During
- the first time run of the TIME STUDY part of the
- program, inaccurate calculations were made in the
- "TOTAL COST PER WEEK AT 70% EFF." field. This has
- been corrected.
-
- Added a "ShareWare Notice" to the program.
-
- Instead of asking if you want to delete the current
- TIME.DAT or EFF.DAT file the program now shows the
- number of records in the file and asks if you want
- to [A]ppend or [O]verwrite the file.
