New ACBOER training: Allowance Calculation Based On Ergonomic Requirements

New training ACBOER: allowance calculation system

Formacion Itemsa ACBOER

Author: Carolina | Date: | 0 comments

We incorporate the new ACBOER training (Calculation of allowances based on ergonomic requirements) to our catalogue of courses. ACBOER is the new allowance calculation system developed and patented by Itemsa.

 

What is the conventional procedure for calculating allowances?

The conventional system of calculation is carried out through two different ways, the first is the ergonomic study carried out by the Occupational Risk Prevention Technicians and the second is the one carried out by the Process Technicians when they carry out Methods and Time Studies.

In other words, on the one hand, the legal obligation of the ergonomic study is fulfilled to validate the working conditions for a specific task. And, on the other hand, this study is carried out independently to define the standard time allocated to the task, taking into account the different physical and mental loads and conditions and calculating the necessary time for recovery and to attend to personal needs.

 

What is ACBOER or Allowance Calculation Based On Ergonomic Requirements?

ACBOER or Allowance Calculation Based On Ergonomic Requirements is the new system for calculating fatigue recovery time and personal attendance needs, developed and patented by Itemsa.

This new method optimises the process by reducing the need for a second parallel study as it has been the case until now. ACBOER means an innovation in this process by basing the calculation to determine allowances (personal needs and fatigue) exclusively on the study of ergonomic risks required by legal obligation. In this way, ACBOER allows to optimise the methods and time technicians’ productivity, as well as to promote the improvement of ergonomic conditions.

The conventional calculation involves both systems, which are carried out in parallel. Itemsa‘s project, led by our Technical Director, Albert Calvo, has developed an innovative system that integrates them both and is based on the calculation of allowance from the ergonomic risk assessment.

 

Why an ACBOER specific training

The primary benefit of this new calculation method is its ability to improve productivity for companies. This is the reason why we have launched the new ACBOER allowance calculation system training . We have incorporated this new ACBOER training into our catalogue of courses, as companies of all sectors and sizes can benefit from the application of this system for calculating rest coefficients.

ACBOER or Allowance Calculation Based On Ergonomics Requirements has as its main innovation the optimisation of the calculation process as it is not necessary to carry out the second of the studies as the calculation is based on the ergonomic study that must always be carried out to validate the conditions of the workplace for the execution of a specific task.

 

Improving productivity through innovation

This new system, which allows fatigue recovery to be calculated more efficiently and optimally for the Methods and Times technicians, can be applied to any company, regardless of its size, sector of activity or form of organisation. This project has been conceived from Itemsa‘s core principle as productivity improvement specialists: a tool for improving and optimising the efficiency and productivity of companies.

As we have always maintained, innovation is about making the most of the resources we have as a company in the most optimal way. ACBOER is a case in point, as it allows us to reduce the workload, time required for execution and resources used in this task by taking advantage of the ergonomic study carried out by occupational risk prevention technicians.

Training in the new ACBOER system for allowance calculation allows us to add value and improve the performance of companies by teaching new tools, methods and techniques that allow us to optimise and improve the performance of processes, contributing to the consolidation and reinforcement of the continuous improvement culture and the improvement of the productivity of companies.

Please refer to our course calendar for details of all the training courses planned for the coming months.

For us, ITEMSA is more than a provider of training or technical advice on methods and times. For us it is a human team that provides us:  Innovation Technique  Excellence  Method  Solutions  Applicability in the pursuit of excellence in our processes. This company helps us to strengthen the talent of our partners and therefore achieve a work methodology that is much more productive and simple to handle.

Our experience with Grupo Itemsa dates back to 2001. We have worked with them within the scope of training and, more specifically, within the scope of time analysis. This way we have been able to carry out MTM courses and industrial timekeeping, both at the Itemsa facilities in Barcelona and at our site in Portugal.

Our congratulations to ITEMSA for these 30 years contributing to the development and implementation of simpler and more efficient working methods. This company has allowed the integration of criteria for optimising quality, ergonomics and occupational health and safety.

Carlos Francisco De Osuna
Health & Safety Manager

In 2011, and by chance, we ended up finding ITEMSA.  And we were very lucky.

Since then, we have been able to benefit from a methodology and applications that have allowed us to substantially improve in all areas. We have been able to verify that they are highly qualified in a wide range of areas such as: processing of methods, advice, training, rigour, speed, involvement, trustworthiness, support, and so on.

Nowadays, when referring to ITEMSA, we no longer refer to the company as such, but we refer to the people who work there: like DAVID, ALBERT, JULIAN, RAFA, among many others.

And, surely, this closeness and personal attention is what makes the difference and makes them BIGGER.

Thank you

Our need for collaboration with ITEMSA is based on the obligation to update the descriptions and assessments of jobs corresponding to the professional profiles of our staff.

We take a very positive view of ITEMSA’s performance as an external solvency advisor. In addition, it has also been fully recognised by the trade union representation as a valid interlocutor in the required terms of objectivity, an essential factor for the successful completion of the project.

“From ITEMSA’s collaboration with ONCE, it should be noted that, together with its team of professionals from the Central Prepared Unit of the Logistics Centre, there was full knowledge and involvement in all the preparation processes of the ONCE gaming products. This resulted in us being able to successfully implement an operational method that guaranteed stable quality production, with productivity control and incentives."

Daniel del Pozo Menor
Head of the Logistics Unit / ONCE

Collaboration with ITEMSA has always been very positive. Working with them is very easy because they quickly understand the needs of the client. They have a highly developed and pragmatic vision of process management, with which success is guaranteed.
They know what they have to do at all times and they carry it out effectively, without any kind of procrastination. Working with them is a competitive advantage due to the results achieved and, above all, for the knowledge and change of mentality that remains in the company.

"After a collaboration of more than 12 years and in three different companies, I can only say that the overall result has been exceptional. Always preceded by the achievement of results, they not only provide something different in the organisation, but they also contribute to improving training at all levels.

We have worked in all fields and tools both in the operative part (organisation, methods, improvements, 5S's, SMED, etc.) and in the training (middle management, leadership, lean tools, project management, etc.). And, in all cases, the result has always been the expected one.
We cannot forget the Soft Itemsa, the tool that has been an asset in our methods department. It has managed to add agility, precision and ease in the management of methods.

It is worth highlighting the high level of experience, skills and professionalism of the people who make up the organisation and with whom, in addition, I have had the good fortune to work hand in hand."

David Rodilla Coronado
Director of Operations BU1 / Meleghy Automotive Barcelona S.A.U.

"When some Lecta technicians came up with enthusiasm for the idea of starting a SMED project at Lecta, I thought that going from theory to action would greatly lower expectations. The reality is that both the methodology and the way Itemsa interacts with the operators and technicians, makes the ideas flow and the results are tangible. So much so that we are already starting the fourth project with them and they are the reference for all the factories of the group".

Joan Guinart Puigvert
Operations Corporate Director / Lecta Group

From our relationship with ITEMSA, I would highlight their mastery of the subject, the experience they have, the firmness and peace of mind with which they defend the arguments before their different interlocutors. They also stand out for their proximity to the client, something that offers greater confidence and peace of mind in management.

Marc Carrera Domènech
Managing Partner of Oficina / SAGARDOY Abogados

“What started as a support analysis of one of our production lines ended up being a productivity improvement project and an organisational change.

The change has not been without difficulties but, thanks to the colleagues of Itemsa and their experience and professionalism, we have managed to take a step forward and become a more competitive site.

Itemsa has formed us and has accompanied us throughout the process to achieve success and we feel proud of the change. Thank you for making us see that change was possible and for giving us the confidence to believe in ourselves.”

Montserrat Compte
Engineering Manager / SMP automotive

I have been working with ITEMSA for more than 20 years. I have done so from different companies, both in terms of training and advice. It has been, is and will be a pleasure to continue maintaining the relationship in the future, as they have always been there when I needed their professional help. Excellent professional level of their whole team, always giving full confidence and success in their results.
