2. TIME STUDY
FATHER:- FREDERICK W. TAYLOR
 DEFINITION
 MEASUREMENT AND ANALYSIS OF THE MOTIONS
OR STEPS INVOLVED IN A PARTICULAR TASK AND
THE TIME TAKEN TO COMPLETE EACH ONE.
 SEPARATION OF A JOB INTO A MEASURABLE
PARTS WITH EACH ELEMENT TIMED
INDIVIDUALLY.

3.  IMPORTANCE OF TIME STUDY
 REDUCE AND CONTROL COSTS, IMPROVE
WORKING CONDITIONS AND ENVIRONMENT,
AND MOTIVATE PEOPLE.
 ORGANIZATIONS THAT OPERATE WITHOUT
TIME STANDARDS, 60% PERFORMANCE IS
TYPICAL.
 IMPROVE WORK & REDUCE WASTE.

4.  WHEN TIME STANDARDS ARE SET,
PERFORMANCE
IMPROVES TO AN AVERAGE OF 85%. I.E 42%
INCREASE IN PERFORMANCE
85 % - 60 %
----------------- = 42% PERFORMANCE
INCREASE
60%
 THE BACKBONE OF INDUSTRIAL
ENGINEERING, INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGY,
AND INDUSTRIAL

5. MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS. BECAUSE THE
INFORMATION THAT TIME STUDIES
GENERATE AFFECTS SO MANY OTHER
AREAS, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:
 COST ESTIMATING
 PRODUCTION AND INVENTORY CONTROL
 PLANT LAYOUT
 MATERIALS AND PROCESSES
 QUALITY
 SAFETY

6.  METHODS OF TIME STUDY
 STOPWATCH TIME STUDY
 HISTORICAL TIMES
 PREDETERMINED DATA
 WORK SAMPLING
 WHAT IS A TIME STANDARD?
 DEFINITION:- TIME REQUIRED TO PRODUCE A
PRODUCT AT A WORK STATION WITH THE
FOLLOWING THREE CONDITIONS:

7. 1. A QUALIFIED, WELL-TRAINED
OPERATOR
2. WORKING AT A NORMAL PACE
3. DOING A SPECIFIC TASK
THESE THREE- ESSENTIAL TO THE
UNDERSTANDING TIME STUDY.
 IMPORTANCE OF TIME STANDARDS
SHOWN BY THE THREE STATISTICS
60%, 85%, AND 120% PERFORMANCE.

8.  TIME STANDARD- MOST IMPORTANT PIECES
OF INFORMATION PRODUCED IN THE
MANUFACTURING DEPARTMENT.
 IT IS USED TO DEVELOP ANSWERS FOR THE
FOLLOWING PROBLEMS:
 DETERMINING THE NUMBER OF MACHINE
TOOLS TO BUY.
 DETERMINING THE NUMBER OF
PRODUCTION PEOPLE TO EMPLOY.
 DETERMINING MANUFACTURING COSTS AND
SELLING PRICES.

9.  THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF WORK &
BALANCING THE WORK CELLS.
 SCHEDULING THE MACHINES,
OPERATIONS, & PEOPLE TO DO THE JOB &
DELIVER ON TIME.
 DETERMINING THE ASSEMBLY LINE
BALANCE, DETERMINING THE CONVEYOR
BELT SPEED, LOADING THE WORK CELLS
WITH THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF WORK &
BALANCING THE WORK CELLS.

10.  DETERMINE INDIVIDUAL WORKER
PERFORMANCE AND IDENTIFYING
OPERATIONS THAT ARE HAVING PROBLEMS
SO THE PROBLEMS CAN BE CORRECTED.
 PAYING INCENTIVE WAGES FOR
OUTSTANDING TEAM OR INDIVIDUAL
PERFORMANCE.
 EVALUATING NEW EQUIPMENT PURCHASES
TO JUSTIFY THEIR EXPENSE.

11.  DEVELOPING OPERATION PERSONNEL
BUDGETS TO MEASURE MANAGEMENT
PERFORMANCE.
 EVALUATING COST REDUCTION IDEAS
AND PICKING THE MOST ECONOMICAL
METHOD BASED ON COST ANALYSIS,
NOT OPINION.

12.  IN SUMMERY THE ANALYST GOES TO THE
WORK STATION TO OBTAIN 3 ITEMS OF
INFORMATION:
 THE TIME SPENT BY THE OPERATOR ON
THE ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS OF JOB.
 THE OPERATOR’S EFFICIENCY
 THE FREQUENCY WITH WHICH
UNAVOIDABLE DELAYS OCCUR.

13.  TOOLS OF THE TIME STUDY ENGINEER
 STOP WATCH
 TACHOMETER
 A TIME STUDY BOARD
 A TIME STUDY FORM
 A CO-INCH SLIDE RULE
 A STEEL RULE

14.  STEPS OF PROCEDURE
1. SELECTING THE METHOD
2. SOME PRELIMINARY STEPS
3. DETERMINING JOB ELEMENTS
4. TIMING THE ELEMENTS OF A TASK
5. DETERMINING THE REQUIRED NUMBER OF
OBSERVATIONS
6. RATING THE OPERATOR’S PERFORMANCE
7. COMPUTE THE ACTUAL TIME.
8. COMPUTE THE NORMAL TIME
9. COMPUTE THE STANDARD TIME

15.  ACTUAL TIME:- TIME THAT WILL ELASPE WHEN A
TASK IS PERFORMED.
 NORMAL TIME:- AMOUNT OF TIME REQUIRED TO
PERFORM A TASK BY AN OPERATOR WHO IS
WORKING AT 100% EFFICIENCY AND EXPERIENCES
NO AVOIDABLE OR UNAVOIDABLE DELAYS.
 STANDARD TIME:- IT IS THE AMOUNT OF TIME
REQUIRED TO PERFORM A TASK BY AN OPERATOR
WHO IS WORKING AT 100% EFFICIENCY &
EXPERIENCES NO AVOIDABLE DELAYS BUT DOES
EXPERIENCE UNAVOIDABLE DELAYS.
