Multiple Activity Chart
Multiple Activity Chart
This chart is similar to a Gantt chart but is used to show the interactions and
interferences between the work of several working as a team and dependent on
each other. It examines short cycle repetitive work and determines the utilization
of operators and machines working in a group. It enables group work to be
designed that is effective and operates with high productivity. Figure 54.4 shows
a Multiple Activity Chart

In Figure 54.4 the cycle time for this repetitive task is 9 minutes.
Further diagramming techniques are used in other units in this website. Network
diagrams are used for line balancing in unit 58 and for project scheduling in units
73 and 74.
