The standard time Calculation, Measurement of work, Major considerations, Developing the standard data

The standard time

Standard time is the total time in which a job should be completed at standard performance
Standard time for a simple manual job.




The standard time is expressed in standard minutes or standard hours


Why Measure the work

To determine the facts about how an individual operation or group of operations are performed within the workplace.
  • Assess the effectiveness of the people & machinery employed

Traditionally Time Study has been utilized to establish time standards.
  • Weakness of this system are the accuracy of an individual’s Performance Rating

To overcome this problem a considerable number of Predetermined Motion Time Systems (PMTS) were produced during Second World War & among these Methods-Time Measurement (MTM) has become very widely used throughout the world.

No Measurement              =    No Management
Inaccurate Measurement  =    Ineffective Management
Accurate Measurement    =    Effective Management

Major considerations

  • Restrict the number of jobs
  • Reliability of the data
  • Nature of material, thickness & weight
  • Source of the time data

Developing the standard data

  • Decide on coverage (similar elements, method)
  • Break the jobs into elements (lifting, positioning, walking, placing)
  • Read through MTM-2.
  • Determine the factors (Major: Distance covered; Minor: Temperature, Humidity)

Computerized System of Developing Standard Data
