Introduction
Work and time study is a
techniques that tell about
 Business efficiency technique
 Use for the measurement of
repetitive work
 Normally used an attempt to
increase output
 Productivity is the ratio of an
aggregate output to a single
input.

2
Techniques to improve
productivity:
o By reducing work content .
o By reducing non valve added
time.
o Proper planning of man,
material and machine.

3
Purpose:
Improve productivity of men machine and material

To determine the best method of performing each operation.

To eliminate waste in manufacturing unit.

Existing layout

5
Methodology
o Initially plant visit was made and discussions made with manager and observations made
during the visit.
o The ineffective time related with the manufacturing and assembly plant layout was found
to be more.
o The existing methods involved in gate valve body manufacturing and assembly
workstation were studied and finding improved methods using work study techniques.
o Bottle necks were identified at various stages of the existing layout. Flow process chart
was drawn through several orientation visits to the plant and getting familiar with the
different work elements.

6
o Flow process chart was drawn for both existing and proposed
system.
o With the work study, results of both existing as well as
proposed method were compared which results in reduction in
total cycle time to manufacture and assemble one gate
assembly.

Conclusion
 The productivity improvement was achieved using the principles of work
study and concepts of method study in Rahman Engineering Works with
the same amount of resources as well as human labors.
 The productivity was improved in Rahman engineering works during the
existing layout analysis existing sequence of operations followed, the total
time taken to manufacture one gate valve assembly is 450minutes.
 During the proposed layout analysis existing sequence of operations
followed, the total time taken to manufacture one gate valve assembly is
377minutes
 
The manufacturing time or SAM was reduced by 73 minutes followed by the
reduction of lead time by half hour.
