What is Time in Motion?
Time in Motion studies measure the time that construction crews are engaged in productive tasks. Time in Motion studies can provide valuable insight into the productivity of a project, and the key reasons which may be preventing the workers from being as productive as possible.
Measuring Crew Performance
Tracking Time in Motion enhances project management by analyzing crew productivity across variables like crew types, locations, time of day, and more. This data-driven approach allows for a viewpoint into a crew’s typical day, leading to process improvements to ensure a successful and cost-effective project.
​
Our advisors can assist and monitor your crews to identify and mitigate productivity loss due to process inefficiencies, bottlenecking in labour or materials and underutilization of equipment and tools.
Remove Roadblocks and Improve Worker Moral
A Time in Motion study will focus on the day-to-day tasks of direct field labor personnel. This detailed assessment will reveal the small challenges which adds non-productive time to a crew’s day. Trillium’s team of experienced industry advisors can provide actionable recommendations to remove or mitigate the challenges faced by the crew and improve the crew’s time on tools.
​
