Motion Study - Spaghetti Diagram

[Suyash12]

Hello All,
I am trying to create a motion study a spaghetti diagram for my manufacturing layout, but I am not getting a starting point. After reviewing few discussions I selected one process and started created a virtual layout of that station but I am trying figure out how I can translate the motion of operator to digital world as every time operator may not use the same path and that changes the distance.
Please guide how I can proceed?

Don't think of a spaghetti diagram as showing one single cycle, but as everything the operator does over the entire shift. Take the example below. There are several paths that the operator is repeatedly taking all shift long plus a few paths that are only taken once or twice per shift. You then can translate this into a current state distance walked per shift. Then design a future state layout that shortens the distance walked per shift. A spaghetti diagram is a lean improvement tool not a motion study tool to set rates.

A spaghetti diagram is less about distance travelled and more about identifying redundant movement and out of the way destinations. If you need to quantify distance or steps I would create a standard or average distance for each trip.

Exactly. There is NO value to a digital map.
Just get your pen go out and watch them.
