Section task analysis is based on examination, classification and segmentation of activities. Under this heading three approaches will be explained; section activity analysis, section quality analysis, and complexity analysis.

Section activity analysis

The method of section activity analysis is used to determine activities which do not generate added value and which are not necessary. The purpose here is to eliminate unnecessary activities, and hence develop the system as to make it convenient for reaching the result directly and fast.

Followings are the main means of section activity analysis; input-process-output model, customer-producer-supplier model cost of quality.

Section quality analysis

Section quality analysis concentrates on management rather than employees. This approach has been developed on the basis of, likewise section activity analysis, input-process-output model, customer-producer-supplier model. Section quality analysis is concerned with quality aspect of the process. It defines the input-output elements of those activities which contribute to the costs of failure. Experts interview with relevant first and second level managers. The information obtained through out these interviews is gathered and analysed as to show input-output needs, control points, standards, and feedbacks of various sub processes.

The main difference between section activity analysis and section quality analysis is related with the way how activity information is obtained. In section activity analysis the information is obtained directly from employees executing the action, whereas in section quality analysis the information is obtained from the managers.

Complexity analysis

In complexity analysis, all activities of a process are examined by classifying them under two groups. These groups are named as "normal activities" (main activities which are necessary for the process) and "unnecessary activities" (activities which aim at correction of errors). Unnecessary activities cause complexities in the process (5s rule). This, in turn, result in narrowed completion time for the process.
