WORKSTUDY / TIME STUDY / WORK MEASUREMENT:

TIME STUDY / WORK MEASUREMENT:

 Work Measurement may be defined as the application of different techniques to measure & establish the time required to complete a job by a qualified worker at a desired level of performance.

Operation analysis is a detailed study of different operations involved in doing a work.Operation analysis becomes necessary in order to investigate the short comings of the existing method & to develop an improved procedure.

ANALYSIS OF MOTION:

    The purpose of motion analysis is to design an improved method which eliminates unnecessary motion & employs human efforts mor productively.

Steps involved in motion analysis are:

1. Select the operation to be studied
2. List & chart various motions performance the operator.
3. Identify the Productive & Idle motions
4. Eliminate the unnecessary & non productive motions
5. Redesign the existing operating procedure by employing minimum number of motions in the most appropriate sequence & in accordance with the principles of motion economy.

STANDARD TIME:

                            Standard Time may be defined as the amount of time required to complete a unit of work under existing conditions, using the specified method & machinery, by an operator able to do the work in a proper manner and at a standard pace.

Standard Time

OT- Observed Time

PRF - Performance Rating Factor

PA- Process Allowances

SA - Special Allownces

POA - Policy allowances

Standard Time = (Average Observed Time X Rating %)+Allowances %

Normal Time = (Average Observed Time X Rating %)

ð     Standard Time = Normal Time + Allowances % => N.T + (NT X Allow % /100)

Example:

Calculate the Standard time with the given information:  Average Observed time = 2 min; Rating % = 50 % , Allowances = 15 %

Sol:

      Std Time =Normal time + Allowance %

Normal time = Average Observed Time X Rating %

                       = 2 X 0.5 = 1 min

Standard time = 1 min + 15% =1+0.15 = 1.15 min
