UMAS consultants use TDABC tool for improving product costing and cost management practices. Use of TDABC is associated with higher quality levels with greater improvements in cycle time and quality, and is indirectly associated with the manufacturing cost reductions through quality and cycle time improvements.

The TDABC model calculates the cost of all the resources, personnel, supervision, occupancy, equipment and technology supplied to this department or process. The TDABC model simulates the actual processes used to perform work throughout an enterprise.
The TDABC method was presented as a revolutionary method in the field of determined costs. The results of TDABC provide valuable information to managers for reducing waste in their business endeavors.

It is used to determine the highest production level that can be achieved given the resources available. The man machine chart is extremely useful in work involving repetitive operations.

The chart shows the exact time relationship between the working cycle of the person and operating cycle of the machine. This chart can be used to find the number of machines the worker can look after so as to minimize the cost. Analyze the chart with a view to increase utilization.

A man–machine chart graphically represents the relationship between the manual work performed by one or more operators and one or more machines involved in a manufacturing process. It is a diagram which describes the activity of a man and machines he is attending against a time scale. The graphical representation captures different tasks required in a production process like to load, operate and unload machines in conjunction with the auto cycle times of the machines themselves. This process usually involves performing as much manual work as possible internal to the machine cycles. This chart shows very clearly periods of idleness on the part of any of the subjects during the process. A study of the chart often makes it possible to rearrange these activities so that such ineffective time is reduced.

For a production floor to operate at highest efficiency, a nuanced approach towards managing the workload and its sequencing is required. Right line balancing enables workload to remain evenly allocated, the workflow running smoothly and the workforce optimally utilized.

In a typical operational process, value adding steps, those that make it valuable to the customer or the business, often get buried in wasteful activities that cost time and money.
