5. Production Vs. Productivity
ο Production:
It is the process of converting resources into products or services
It is the volume of output irrespective of the quantity or quality of resources
employed to achieve a level of output
ο Production System:
ο Productivity:
It is the ratio of outputs (goods & services) divided by the inputs (resources such
as labor and capital)
Productivity = Output / Input
It is the ration between output and input that totally depends upon both output and
input levels

8. Time Study
It is a work measurement technique for recording the
times and rates of
8
9. Time Study Procedure
Following steps are taken while making time study
ο Collection of details regarding job and machine
ο Calculate average single cycle time for the certain operation by
taking no. of observations and averaging them
ο Calculate observed time (minutes)
ο Rate the operator
ο Calculate Basic Time
ο Determine allowance factor
ο Calculate standard time called SAM( standard allowed minutes)
9
14. Capacity Study
Finding out the operatorβs potential.
Method
ο Get details of operation and machine
ο Take observations while operator works with best method
ο Ignore cycles containing breakdown (bundle handling, machine delay
etc.)
ο Calculate ASCT and Capacity
14
15. Work in Process (WIP)
βThe sum of semi finished and finished goodsβ
ο Can be measured in pieces or time
Why to control WIP?
ο Investment on inventory
ο Ability to reduce production cycle
How to manage WIP?
ο Production Planning
ο Trims control
ο Production build up
ο Line balancing
ο Cut flow control
15
16. Operation Bulletin (OB)
Sequence of activities in making OB
ο Thorough study of the style
ο Preparation of operations breakdown
ο Simplifying operations
ο Defining attachments required
ο Get customer convince on any changes required in construction
ο Calculate SAM
ο Calculate targets
ο Calculate manpower requirement
ο Balance the line for optimum productivity
16
17. Line Balancing
What is Line Balancing?
ο Technique of maintaining same level of inventory on each workstation in
the production line.
Why Line Balancing?
ο To lower the inventory cost
ο To enable worker for optimum pace
ο To enable supervisor to address other problems
ο Better production planning
ο On time shipment, low cost and hence increased customer value
17
18. Line Balancing
Goals for balancing
ο Meet production schedule
ο Avoid the waiting time
ο Minimize over time
ο Protect operator earning
Rules for balancing
ο Have 3-5 bundles on each W/S
ο Solve the problem before it becomes large
ο Keep the operators busy at full capacity by ensuring sufficient
availability of work
18
19. Line Balancing
Considerations to balance the line
ο Meet production targets
ο Constant workflow
ο Avoid overtime
ο Determine HR required
ο Check absenteeism
ο Monitor hourly production
19
20. Line Balancing
Balanced production system
A production line where the line targets are achieved in all the operations
with same amount of normal WIP at all workstations.
Steps in balancing the line
ο Calculations of labor requirement
ο Operations breakdown
ο Theoretical operation balance
ο Initial balance
ο Balance control
20
21. Line Balancing
Balance Control
ο Maintain WIP for 5 to 10 min at each W/S
ο Keep the WIP in order
ο Keep the utility operators to manage absenteeism
ο Keep the spare machines for any replace to overcome sudden
breakdown
ο Develop preventive maintenance plan to avoid sudden breakdown
ο Eliminate bottlenecks
ο Supervisor must know the available skill set
21
22. Efficiency
βEfficiency is the measure of effectiveness of production lineβ.
It is another way of expressing productivity
It tells how do we perform against targets which have been set
by scientific means.

23. Efficiency
Exercise:
A sewing line produced 1200 garments with 15 minute SAM, in 8
hours shift using 50 work stations. Provided that 15 workers
could not continue their work for 120 minutes owing to
unavailability of work, calculate overall efficiency and on
standard efficiency of the line?
23
26. Cost Per Minute
Why to measure cost?
ο To estimate the cost of operations
SMV = SAM x CM
ο To evaluate the performance metrics, by comparing costs of
before and after improvement processes
ο To estimate the cost of loss time
ο To monitor the cost of production against benchmarks
