Overview
Assembly Planner is a suite of manufacturing process engineering tools integrated to a database to help engineers create and manage process information in order to improve their manufacturing operations, with emphasis on assembly-oriented tasks. Proplanner’s integrated set of applications includes: Time Estimation, Line Balancing, Work Instructions, Ergonomics, PFMEA & Control Plan, Resource Management, and Engineering Change Management tools.
Working within AutoCAD, the Workplace Planner automatically generates walk-path diagrams and calculates worker walk times, lean value-added percentages, travel distances, and ergonomic safety assessments. Walk-path diagrams and animation help visualize the process directly on the layout in AutoCAD.

Additional Information
Shop Floor Viewer
Shop Floor Viewer pushes work instructions to the next level to give shop floor workers direct access to view electronic work instructions using a web browser. This paperless method ensures that the most recent documents are being viewed. Shop floor workers can scan the model number to which they are assigned to pull up the work instruction for their model and station assignment.
ProBalance
Proplanner offers a standalone line balancing tool, which offers an easy to use spreadsheet interface to manipulate tasks, stations, parts, tools, models/options and precedence. This solution supports regular Windows functionalities, intuitive and sophisticated charting, flexible & quick line balancing techniques, and reporting that calculates utilization and work assignments that can be used as Work Instructions. This tool is also integrated with Work Place Planner which allows users to conduct analyses of work within a station.
ProTime Estimation
Proplanner offers a standalone Time Estimation Application which offers an easy to use spreadsheet interface to manipulate observed tasks and/or predetermined elements. This application supports integrated video (if available), regular Windows functionalities, intuitive and sophisticated charting, flexible & quick code parsing, user-defined Excel-based standard data templates, and reporting that calculates time and factors in Personal, Fatigue and Delays in addition to user-defined allowances. This application supports all of the industry standard languages, including Modapts, MTM-1, MTM-2, MTM-UAS, MTM-B, MTM-SAM, MTM-MEK and MOST. This tool is also integrated with Assembly Planner and the ProBalance application.
