Work measurement is a technique used to establish the time required for a worker to complete a specified job at a defined performance level. There are four basic work measurement techniques: time study, work sampling, predetermined motion time data systems, and synthesis of standard data. A manufacturing plant implemented work measurement using UMT PLUS software to identify non-value added activities and improve productivity by doubling production while optimizing resource utilization.

2. 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.

3.  It is the method or study for reducing the
work by reducing un necessary movement.
 substituting good methods for poor once.
 Reducing ineffective time.(ie time in which
no effective work is performed).
 Reduces un necessary motion.
 Improve quality of production.

4.  TO compare the efficiency of alternative methods. And to
implement the method which takes least time.
 To balance the members of the teams in association with
multiple activity charts.
 To determine in association with man and machine
(Multiple activity charts )the number of machines an
operative can run.
 To provide information on which the planning and
scheduling of production can be based, including the
plant and labor requirements.

5.  To provide information on which estimates
for tenders ,selling prices and delivery
promises can be based.
 To set standards of machine utilization and
labor performance .
 To provide information for labor cost of
control and maintain standard cost.

6. There are four basic techniques of work
measurement.
Direct method
a) Time study
b) Work sampling
Indirect method
a) Pre determine motion time data system
b) Synthesis of standard data

7. a) 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. It uses a stop watch to measure the
time.
b) Work sampling-As the name suggests, work sampling
involves observing a portion or sample of the work
activity. Based on this statements can be made about
activity.

8. a) Predetermined motion time data system-A
predetermined motion time system is a work
measurement technique where by times established for
basic human motions are used to build up the time for a
job at a defined level of performance.
b) Synthesis of standard data-synthesis data is the name
given to tables and formulae derived from the analysis
of accumulated work measurement data arrange in a
form for suitable standard times ,machine process times
etc.

10. Manufacturing plant in mont real. It basically deals in
different types of truck manufacturing wants to
double its production.

11. The continuous improved department found
that their production is low.
To improve their production with optimum
utilization of resources.
They have to exactly know the non value
added service at each assembly line.

12. Then after continuous analysis its production
department opted to invest in UMT PLUS.A
kind of highest work measurement tool used
for measuring work operations. So they train
their employee about effective utilization of
software.

13. Using UMT PLUS the manufacturing plant has
been able to identify where to implement
solution ultimately increasing their
productivity.
