MEANING:Work measurement is concerned with measuring the work content of any activity under study with a view to assess the human effectiveness and to compare the standards that will be used for planning and controlling of operations and thereby achieving labour productivity.

DEFINITION:Work measurement is the application of techniques designed to establish the time for a qualified worker to carry out a specified job at a defined level of performance.

THE PURPOSE OF WORK MEASUREMENT:

Work measurement is concerned with investigating, reducing and subsequently eliminating ineffective time, that is time during which no effective work is being performed. Work measurement, as the name suggests, provides management with a means of measuring the time taken in the performance of an operation or series of operations in such a way that ineffective time is shown up and can be separated from effective time.

OBJECTIVES:Improved planning and control of activities More efficient managing of the plant Reliable ideas for labour performance Basis for sound,incentive schemes Reliable ideas for labour cost control

BENEFITS:Comparing alternate methods. Prepare realistic work schedules. Set standard of performance. Comparsion of actual time and allowed time. Estimation of tenders.

THE USES OF WORK MEASUREMENT

Comparsion in terms of efficiency of alternative methods. Proper allocation to time to workers for the completion of the task. Information regarding the planning and scheduling of production.

TECHNIQUES OF WORK MEASUREMENT

Direct Time study Synthesis Analytical estimating Predetermined motion time systems Work sampling

DIRECT TIME STUDY

Time Study consists of recording times and rates of work for elements of a specified job carried out under specified conditions to obtain the time necessary to carry out a job at a defined level of performance.

REQUIREMENTS FOR EFFECTIVE TIME STUDY:Co-operation and goodwill Defined job Defined method Correct equipments Experienced qualified motivated worker Recording media

SYNTHESIS
Synthesis is a work measurement technique for building up the time for a job at a defined level of performance by totaling element times obtained previously from time studies on other jobs containing the elements concerned, or from synthetic data.

ANALYTICAL ESTIMATING
This technique introduces work measurement concepts into estimating. In analytical estimating the estimator is trained in elemental breakdown, and in the concept of standard performance.

ESTIMATION PROCESS:Breaking the work content of job into elements Utilising the experience of the estimator

Total job time

PREDETERMINED MOTION TIME SYSTEMS

A predetermined motion time system is a work measurement technique whereby times established for basic human motions (classified according to the nature of the motion and the conditions under which it is made) are used to build up the time for a job at a defined level of performance.

ACTIVITY SAMPLING
Activity sampling is a technique in which a large number of instantaneous observations are made over a period of time of a group of machines, processes or workers. Each observation records what is happening at that instant and the percentage of observations recorded for a particular activity or delay is a measure of the percentage of time during which the activity or delay occurs.

ADVANTAGES
It is capable of measuring many activities that are impractical or too costly to be measured by time study. One observer can collect data concerning the simultaneous activities of a group. Activity sampling can be interrupted at any time without effect.

DISADVANTAGES : It

is quicker and cheaper to use time study on jobs of short duration. It does not provide elemental detail.
