A string diagram is a useful aid for following purposes:
● It represents the record of an existing set of conditions and thus helps the
method engineer in visualizing the actual situation.
● It indicates complex movements, back tracking, congestion, bottle necks and over
and underutilized paths on the shop floor.
● It is an aid for comparison between different layouts or methods of doing a job as far
as the distances moved are involved.
● It helps in tracing existing paths of movement for incorporating necessary
modifications, if any.
● It is prefixed when movements are not regular as far as frequency and distance
moved are concerned.
● Indicates the pattern of movements and thus helps in deciding the most economical
routes to perform a particular operation.

Time study practice (Peg board assembly)


Exercise

7
Aim: To record time required for assembling 30 pins in standard pin board to calculate the Basic
Time. Condition of board / method (using fly back / non fly back time study).

Apparatus: Peg board, stop watch.

Theory:- Time study is defined as a work measurement technique for recording the times and
rates of working for the elements of a specified job carried out under specified
condition and for analyzing the data so as to obtain the time necessary for carried out
the job at a defined level of performance.
Stopwatch: Three types of stopwatches are used for performing time study. They are:
1) Fly-back type
2) Non-fly back type
3) Split hand stop watch
In this particular experiment only fly back and non-fly back type is used.
Fly back type: it has the smallest graduation representing 1/100th of a minute. It is
operated with the help of the slide.
- Which when slide anti-clockwise starts the recording while sliding clockwise
ceases recording.
- Used to restore zero setting of both measuring indices. Such facility allows
recording of time either fly back or “cumulative mode” depending on zero setting.

Non – fly back type: it is put into operation by applying pressure on the winding knob
and is stopped by applying pressure on the same knob second time. Zero setting is
obtained by pressing the knob third time. This gives “cumulative timing”.

Activity recorded: Peg board assembly

Procedure:
● Peg board assembly is done by the operator who tries to maintain the constant speed.
● First five trials of assembly are measured using fly back technique.
● Next five trials of assembly are measured using non fly back technique.
● Average time for both trials are taken and calculated.
● Values are compared to know the better ones.

Performance rating for dealing cards


Aim: To practice learn the performance rating for the given activity of dealing a deck of cards.

Apparatus: - Deck of cards, Stop watch.

Exercise

8
Theory:- Rating is the assessment of the workers rate of working relative to the observers
concept of the rate corresponding to standard pace.
Methods of rating are:
- Speed rating
- Westinghouse system of rating
- Synthetic rating
- Objective rating
- Physiological evaluation of performance rating.
The numerical scale against which to make comparison is necessary to make comparison
between observed rate of working and the standard rate. We have made use of the International
standard scale which is 0-100 scale. In this scale, ‘0’ represents zero activity and ‘100’ the
normal rate of working of the motivated qualified worker i.e., standard rate.

Activity: Dealing a deck of playing card. A deck consists of 52 cards.

Procedure:
● The operator is made to perform the operation to be rated at the standard rate repeatedly
till the observer gets an understanding about the pace of the operation.
● Now the operator is allowed to perform the operation at his desired pace. This pace of
operation is compared with standard pace of operation
● If the pace is better than the standard pace, the operator is rated above 100 and vice versa
proportionally.
● This procedure is repeated for number of trials and the observed rating is compared with
the actual rating obtained using the stop watch
● The error in rating is calculated and the relevant graphs are plotted

concept of the rate corresponding to standard pace.

Standard time is the total time in which a job is completed and at a standard performance.

Standard time = 𝐵𝑎𝑠𝑖𝑐 𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒 + 𝐴𝑙𝑙𝑜𝑤𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒𝑠

Basic time is the time for carrying out an element of work at standard rating i.e.,

𝑂𝑏𝑠𝑒𝑟𝑣𝑒𝑑 𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒×𝑜𝑏𝑠𝑒𝑟𝑣𝑒𝑑 𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔


Basic time = 𝑆𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑎𝑟𝑑 𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒

Measurement of body parameters using walking
simulator
Aim:-Measurement of body parameters i.e., heart beat rate or pulse rate and calorie consumption
using a walking simulator.

Apparatus: - walking simulator.

Theory:-Studies of energy expenditure in walking have been made by many different


investigators. Results of their studies indicate that for speeds of 2-4 miles/hr, energy
expended in calorie/min is linearly proportional to the speed of walking in miles/hr.
Assuming the metabolic cost at resting state to be 1.2 cal/min, the relationship can be
given as
C = 1.0 V + 1.2
C→ energy expenditure in cal/min
V→ walking speed in miles/hr.
Procedure:-
● The worker is made to walk on the walking simulator at a desired speed of 2km/hr.
● The corresponding values of pulse rate or heart rate & calorie consumption are noted
down.
● The speed is then increased to 4 km/hr from the initial speed of 2km/hr & the
corresponding values of given parameters are noted down.
● The speed is then increased to 6km.hr & the same procedure is repeated as above.
● The experiment is repeated for different weights of male & female & the corresponding
values of male & female heart rate & calorie consumption readings are noted down.
● Plot the graph ( Pulse Rate Vs. Speed and Energy Consumption Vs. Speed) and show
result

Measurement of body parameters using Ergo
meter cycle
Exercise

14
Aim:-Measurement of body parameters i.e., heart beat rate or pulse rate and calorie consumption,
revolutions per minutes using a ergo meter cycle.

Apparatus: - Ergo meter cycle.

Theory: An ergo meter is an apparatus for measuring the work a person exerts while exercising
as used in training or cardiac stress tests or other medical tests. The work done by the
operator and various body parameter of operator are measured by the ergometer.
The protocol uses three or more consecutive 2 minutes workloads that are designed to
raise the heart rate to between 110bpm and a heart rate that is near 85
% of the age predicted HRmax for 2 consecutive workloads

Procedure:
● The worker is made to pedal the ergometer cycle at a stable speed.
● The worker is made to pedal for 2 minutes.
● The corresponding values of pulse rate and calorie consumption are noted down.
● Then the same person is made to cycle for some more time and the readings are noted at
4 minutes and 6minutes respectively.
● The experiment is repeated for different weights of male and female and the
corresponding values of male and female heart rate and calorie consumption readings are
noted down.
● Plot the graph ( Pulse Rate Vs. Time and Energy Consumption Vs. Time) and show result

Effect of light at the workplace on the worker’s


performance
Exercise

Aim: To study the effect of light in the reduction of time in the assembly of Needles.

Department of Industrial Engineering & Management, B.M.S. College of Engineering, Bangalore -560019.
IV Semester IEM Industrial Engineering Lab Sub Code: 19IM4DCIEE

Apparatus used: Needles, Different types of Strings, Plates, Stop Watch.

Theory: Light, according to the Illuminating Engineering Society is a “radiant energy that is
capable of exciting the retina (of the eye) and producing a visual sensation”. The
problem of determining the level of illumination that should be provided for various
visual tasks has occupied the attention of illuminating engineers, psychologists and
others for many years.

Procedure:
● The plates, needles and different types of strings are kept in front of the worker.
● Firstly, the whole apparatus is kept on a table without any lights under day light.
● Then, the worker starts assembling each needles and the time taken to assemble each
needle is noted down using a stopwatch.
● The same apparatus in a similar sertup is then conducted under the different light without
day light. Reading are then tabulated.
● Similarly, the experimental setup is conducted in a dark room with completely dark and
then partial darkness and the readings are tabulated.
● Similarly, the experimental setup is conducted in under day light and readings are
tabulated.
● Plot the graph ( Average number of needles Vs. Light intensity) and show result
