Have you ever thought about using a step counter on your employees in a test setting? This idea can provide valuable data to help you understand how much movement your workers must perform daily due to the current workshop layout. By analyzing this data, you can identify inefficiencies in the layout that may not be immediately obvious.

The physical movement of employees within a workshop is a critical factor in determining overall efficiency. Excessive walking or unnecessary movement between tasks can lead to wasted time, reduced productivity and increased fatigue. By equipping employees with step counters, you can gather precise data on the number of steps they take during their shifts. This data can serve as a diagnostic tool, revealing whether the current layout is contributing to inefficiencies.
