What is man - machine chart?
simplest As far as I know man-machine chart is a chart relation of how much time the machine spend while the man or the operator spending his time on his job. The
man-machine chart, or simochart, is a planning industrial graphically defining resources' activity (robots, operators, ...) at repetitive tasks. It is typically used to plan the activity of resources in large and medium series. Each resource continually performs the same tasks. When the last task is completed, the resource runs again the first task. This estate is called cycle. A diagram is consitued of tangled cycles. The duration of the longest cycle is called
time of cycle. It is usually the time needed to produce or assemble a piece.
