About this app

Time Study Timer is a professional mobile tool designed for cycle time studies, task timing, and process analysis in manufacturing, assembly, and operations environments.

Instead of juggling a stopwatch and handwritten notes, this app lets you capture complete time studies directly on your phone and export structured Excel reports ready for analysis.

It is built specifically for engineers, supervisors, and continuous improvement teams performing cycle time studies, standard work observations, and process improvement analysis.


BUILT FOR REAL TIME STUDIES

Generic stopwatch apps are not designed for industrial time studies. Time Study Timer uses a cycle timer with nested task timing, allowing you to track individual process elements while the overall cycle continues to run.

Simply tap a task to make it active while the run is in progress. Time automatically accumulates to that task while the master cycle time updates in real time.

This workflow mirrors how real time studies are performed on the shop floor.


KEY FEATURES

Cycle Timer with Task Breakdown
Track an entire process cycle while breaking it down into individual tasks or elements.

• Large master cycle timer
• Nested task timers inside each cycle
• Tap to switch the active task
• Add or rename tasks during a live study


Fast Field Data Capture

Designed for quick observations during real work.

• Start or pause timing with a single tap
• Add tasks while the timer is running
• Quickly rename tasks to match process steps
• Minimal input required while observing work


Multi-Cycle Time Studies

Record multiple production cycles and analyze variation.

• Capture sequential cycles of work
• View average cycle time
• Track average task durations
• Identify which tasks dominate cycle time


Notes for Real-World Context

Capture important context during your study.

• Study-level notes such as operator name, job number, or machine
• Task notes for specific cycles
• Record observations or abnormalities during the study


Excel Export for Analysis

Export your study as a professionally structured Excel workbook.

The generated XLSX file includes:

CycleData
Raw detail rows for each task and cycle.

CycleMatrix
A task-by-cycle grid for quick analysis.

Summary
Average, minimum, maximum, standard deviation, and overall average cycle time.

Export the workbook directly to your device or share it via email, Google Drive, Teams, or other apps.


IDEAL FOR

This app is designed for professionals performing:

• Manufacturing time studies
• Assembly process timing
• Lean manufacturing analysis
• Standard work validation
• Continuous improvement projects
• Production cycle time measurement


WHY USE TIME STUDY TIMER

Unlike generic stopwatch or interval timer apps, Time Study Timer is built specifically for cycle time analysis and task-based time studies.

Designed for manufacturing workflows.
Switch tasks during live timing.
Capture multiple production cycles.
Export structured Excel reports instantly.
Simple and fast interface designed for shop-floor use.


REPLACE THE NOTEBOOK AND STOPWATCH

Many time studies still rely on a stopwatch, handwritten notes, and manual data entry into spreadsheets.

Time Study Timer replaces that entire process with phone-based capture and automatic Excel reporting, saving time and reducing transcription errors.


Simple. Practical. Built for the shop floor.

If you perform cycle time studies, task timing, or process improvement work, Time Study Timer gives you a faster and more reliable way to capture real production data.
