During the initial training, a SATRA expert gives users an overview of the entire system but with the focus on method analysis and teaching users how to produce accurate time values and labour costings.

Users will be shown how to create time values for every type of operation including using SATRA’s unique additional features which can be added to paths for stitching or folding.

The user-friendly interface presents users with a range of simple questions to answer, covering all the likely variations in working methods. This approach allows the user to rapidly gain an understanding of how to input complex working methods into SATRA TimeLine, and how to amend existing data.

SATRA TimeLine is installed with a library of operation times for the most universally occurring footwear constructions, based on best practice for each operation. These will be used to train the user, enabling them to create overall labour costings quickly. Where there are variations in the working methods, users will be shown how to adapt these library values.
