How it works
What users can expect
QuickScan is not a vague observation exercise. It is a structured measurement flow that your team can use with a QR code sheet, a scanner, and a browser with internet access.
Define process steps
You enter the activity definitions that match your real operation, such as sorting, packing, waiting, setup, quality checks, or order handling.
Print QR code sheets
The system generates QR code sheets for the defined activities. The workforce takes these sheets to the work area.
Scan before and after work
Before and after each physical task, the user scans the relevant QR code. The system registers the duration of each activity.
Review the new statistical insight
After enough scans have been collected, the platform shows mean, median, spread, outliers, variation, and performance per process step.
Improve and remeasure
After improvement actions are implemented, the process is measured again. The system helps determine whether the change is statistically significant.
Challenge
Most teams know the process, but not the real durations
People often know where work feels slow, but they rarely have reliable numbers for each activity. Without measured durations, variation, and order-level context, improvement discussions quickly become opinion-based.
- See how long each physical task actually takes
- Separate normal variation from structural bottlenecks
- Create one shared baseline for operators, managers, and leadership
Measurement flow
From simple scans to process performance
QuickScan starts with basic activity scanning and can become more powerful by adding order numbers and cost data. This allows you to understand not only which steps take time, but also which orders, options, or process conditions absorb the most capacity and money.
- Activity scans reveal the duration and variation of each process step
- Order scans show how specific orders move through the operation
- Cost data connects operational time loss to financial impact
Platform
Why the approach works
The method works because it is simple enough for the shop floor and structured enough for serious analysis. Operators only scan what they are doing. The platform turns those scans into performance evidence.
Measurement
Capture real process times and variation
Each scan creates a timestamped activity record. Over time, the system builds a statistical picture of how each process step performs.

Setup
Define your own process steps
Your process definitions determine what the workforce can scan, so the measurement fits the real operation.
Floor use
Use QR sheets without heavy IT integration
A QR sheet, a scanner, and a browser with internet access are enough to start measuring.
Decision support
Turn measured variation into priorities
The results show which steps, orders, or cost drivers deserve attention first.

Deliverables
What you receive
QuickScan gives you a practical measurement setup and the results needed to act. The goal is not a long report, but a clear direction for improving efficiency.
Setup
A working scan environment
Your team gets access to the Scan App, process-step definitions, QR code sheets, and a practical workflow for measuring real activity durations.

Insight
Statistical performance results
The results pages show activity duration, mean, median, spread, variation, outliers, order-level patterns, and cost impact when cost data is added.

Outcomes
The results point to where efficiency can improve
QuickScan turns floor activity into measurable evidence. Once enough data has been collected, the platform helps identify which steps create delays, which orders absorb capacity, and where improvement work should start.
See performance per process step
Each activity can be analysed by duration, mean, median, spread, outliers, and variation. This makes it clear which steps are stable and which steps create unpredictable performance.
Add order numbers for deeper insight
Add costs to reveal financial impact
Remeasure after improvement
Questions
Clear answers about setup, scanning, data, and what to expect.
What does a company need to start?
You need access to the NovaSets platform, defined process steps, printed QR code sheets, a QR code scanner, and a simple browser with internet access.
Who performs the scans?
The workforce scans the relevant QR codes before and after physical tasks. The scan flow is intentionally simple so it can be used in the work area without complex training.
What does the system measure?
The system records timestamps and calculates activity durations. After enough data is collected, it shows statistical results such as mean, median, spread, variation, and outliers per process step.
Can we analyse orders as well?
Yes. When users scan order numbers, the platform can connect activity durations to specific orders or order types. This helps reveal how small orders, complex orders, or customer-specific options affect the operation.
Can cost data be added?
Yes. When cost data is added, the analysis can connect operational time and variation to financial impact. This helps prioritize improvements based on both efficiency and cost.
How do we know whether an improvement worked?
After the improvement project, the measurement can be repeated. The system compares before and after results and helps determine whether the observed change is statistically significant.
Do we need heavy IT integration?
No. A QuickScan can start with process definitions, QR sheets, scanning, and a browser. Existing system data can be added later if deeper analysis is needed.
Next step
Set up a call and map your first scan
In a short call, we help you determine which process to measure first, which activity definitions are needed, and how the QR scan flow would work on your floor.
Plan your first measurement cycle
We will help you choose the process area, define the first activity list, and prepare the scan flow so your team knows exactly what to do.
- Choose the first production, packing, or warehouse process
- Define the process steps to scan
- Prepare QR code sheets for the workforce
- Collect enough data for statistical insight
- Remeasure after improvement to validate the result
