GSD - Data

GSD® is an internationally recognised and renowned PMT System, comprised of two distinct elements, the GSD Database®, which forms the heart and integrity of the system, and the GSD for Windows® software, which is the vehicle that "drives" the GSD Database®.

GSD®'s history begins in the 1940's, when the first "Method Time Measurement" systems were devised and published. These "MTM" systems were developed to measure the human motions involved in undertaking repetitive work task and proved very effective in defined "best method" and deriving manufacturing time. They were also, however, not designed for specific industry sectors, quite complex and time consuming to use.

GSD® was amongst the earliest systems that were focused toward a specific industry - the sewn products sector. As such, GSD® is exceptionally simple, quick and easy to use and has been tried, tested and proven on an international footing for over 25 years. A world leader in it's own right, and now acknowledge by the International Labour Office in Geneva as being an industry standard.

GSD - Training

GSD® Training comes in two forms, GSD Practitioner Training, which provides your personnel with the skills required to apply the GSD Database™, and GSD Software Training which imparts the keyboard techniques necessary to enables your team to generate and manipulate the GSD Database™ quickly and effectively. Both training courses lead to GSD Certification, subject to successful examination and qualification.

Further training services are provided for key personnel who will be involved in, and perhaps affected by, the implementation of GSD®. These services include GSD Appreciation Training, plus a wide variety of short courses, which can be tailored to meet the needs of your unique organisation.

GSD - Software

It is important to recognise that GSD® is not simply a suite of software. Much more than that, GSD® is a detailed management approach to controlled measurement and resource management. Certainly the software is important, because the technologies involved in the software provide a medium for data manipulation and communication, but our users never lose site of the fact that it is the GSD® approach to management that provides them with the tangible financial benefits they enjoy.

GSD for Windows® software will provide you with the vehicle to generate, modify and manipulate labour time and cost information. Professional training will provide you with the means to utilise an innovative and dynamic system to your benefit.

GSD for Windows® operates in Windows 98®, Windows for WorkGroups®, Windows 2000 ®, Windows ME®, Windows NT® and Windows XP®, and will function on a Stand-alone PC, or within a LAN or WAN environment.
