Example:
An observed time for an operation is 0.05 minutes and
the ratings are as follows:
Skill is excellent
Effort is good
Condition is good
Consistency is good
12
Solution:
The values for the ratings are as follows:
Criteria Rating Value
Skill B2 + 0.08
Effort C2 + 0.02
Condition C2 + 0.02
Consistency C + 0.01
Total + 0.13

Basic Time
This is the time taken by a qualified worker to
complete a piece of work at the standard rate of
performance.
Exercise:
If the observed time is 0.16 minute and the
performance rating is 125%, the what would be
the Basic Time?

Allowances
• Relaxation Allowance: Relaxation allowance may
be of two types:
15
Allowances
• Process allowance: A process allowance is an allowance
of time given to compensate for enforced idleness of an
operator due to the character of the process or operation
on which he or she is employed.
• For example- an operator may not be able to work
because he has to wait for a machine to complete its own
part or he may be the member of an unbalanced line.
• These are all unavoidable delay for which the operator is
not responsible.
• Process allowance are generally considered as 5% of the
basic time. ???

• Special Allowances:
Machine Allowances:
• S/N Chainstitch 5%
• S/N Lockstitch 5%
• B/H Lockstitch 5%
• Multineedle Chainstitch 6%
• Overlock 6%
• Bartack 6%
Standard Time
Standard Time: It is the total time in
which a job should be completed at
standard performance.
Exercise:
If the observed time is 0.25 minute , the performance
rating is 80% and the total allowance rate is 15% then
what would be the standard time of that operation?
