Background Story
PT. United Tractors sells heavy equipment and also offers after-sales support by monitoring how efficiently the equipment is used. This includes tracking operating time, fuel consumption, and analyzing performance based on function and location.
To improve this process, they wanted to develop a mobile app for field surveyors to conduct time motion studies. The app helps track how long each unit takes to complete specific tasks.

Let's Talk
With The User
Project Overview
User Interview
User Interview
As the first step, we interviewed users to understand their current processes, challenges, and how our product could improve their workflow.

Q : How do you monitor the unit?
A : By using a stopwatch, then writing down the results of time monitoring on the monitoring form.
Q : How do you know what movement the unit will make?
A : First, find out the task the unit wants to carry out, then memorize the sequence of movements when carrying out the task.
Q : What if an obstacle occurs in the middle of the unit's process of carrying out this movement
A : The time calculation continues, but later notes will be added as to what problems there were when carrying out the movement.
Q : How do you report the results of the monitoring?
A : The results recorded in the form will then be entered into an Excel document, and then the data will be processed to display statistics on the calculation results.
Q : What can be assessed from the results of the report?
A : Unit movement processing time, fuel usage, average time used in 1 task cycle, obstacles that often occur in carrying out tasks, unit capacity to carry out the task.

We then created two user personas to represent the types of users who will use this application : the field surveyor, who will conduct the time motion study, and the section head, who will review and manage the results of the time motion study for the heavy equipment.

Problem Conclusion
Problem Conclusion
After we get all the information, we try to assemble the information to define the problem that occurs to the user, how it should work, and then form it into a set of solutions that we will implement into an android mobile application product.

Problem Statement
Surveyors often get distracted during motion studies because they have to switch between observing the unit in the field and recording movements on the assessment form. They also struggle to memorize the sequence of movements, leading to errors in timing. On top of that, they must process raw data into a report, adding to their workload.
How Might We?
How might we make the surveyor's focus in calculating time not be easily distracted?
How might we process data from time calculations into reports that are ready to be presented?
Solutions
Unit Movement Set :
Users only need to select a work category with movement sequence rules already in it, so users don't need to memorize the sequence anymore.
Start n Stop :
Counting with a stopwatch-like system with start and stop counting actions so that users can focus on monitoring the unit without having to look for a long time at the device screen.
Informative Reports and Charts :
The time calculation results will be immediately processed using a certain calculation formula to produce a report on the time and fuel efficiency required by the unit.
Downloadable Calculation Reports :
Calculation results and reports can easily be downloaded to facilitate sharing between users and devices.

The Solutions
Project Overview
Now we move into the solution phase for the identified set of problems. In this stage, we will break it down into several sections, such as defining the optimal user flow to accommodate all user needs, creating wireframes for the proposed design, establishing design guidelines, and finally, developing the UI design for the platform.

Motion Set & Measurements Setting
The application admin will map the type of heavy equipment unit, job name, type of job location, sequence of movements to be carried out, units of measurement, and other data related to fuel efficiency calculations.

Time Motion Study
Surveyors as users will carry out time motion study measurements on heavy equipment that is in operation to assess how long it takes the unit to carry out a set of work movements and how much fuel is used while the unit is operating.

After setting the unit movement set, the user will then be directed to the time motion study calculation page to then start the stopwatch.

Report & Analysist
Users can view the results of the time-motion study data processed by surveyors. This data is presented as a comprehensive report containing detailed calculations and analysis based on the collected information. The report can be easily downloaded or shared by mechanics in PDF format for further discussion and review.
