 INTRODUCTION

WORK STUDY:-
 Motion study
 Time study:-
o A qualified, well trained operator
o Normal pace
o Doing a specific task
 OBJECTIVES OF TIME STUDY

• To increase productivity

 To set labour standard for satisfactory performance.

 To determine basic times/normal times.

 To determine the number of machines an operator can

handle.

 To determine standards costs.

 Advantages

 To develop suitable working conditions

 To improve utilization of resources

 To reduce human effort by proper design of

processes

 Types of elements involved in a job

 Repetitive element:- Occurs in every work cycle of the job.

 Occasional element:- Occurs at intervals.

 Constant element:- Basic or normal time remains constant.

 Variable element:- Basic or normal time varies.

 Manual element:- Performed manually.

 Governing element :- Occupies a longer time than any other

element.
 Methods

 1.Predetermined time standard system

 2.Stop watch reading

a) Continuous

b) Snap-back

 3.Work sampling

Que. A preliminary study indicates that the proportion of
idle time of a machine is 30% ; rest of the time it is
working . To get a good estimate of the idle time with a
precision of ±1% , then what should be the sample size?
