2. • Work measurement can be defined as the development of a time
standard to indicate the value of a work task.
• According to a survey conducted by industrial engineering magazine
and patton consultants, inc., 95% of the manufacturing firms
responding to the survey use work measurement.
• There are various purposes for which work measurement is used.
Among these are:
 Wage incentives
 Estimating and job costing
 Production scheduling and capacity planning
 Measurement of worker performance

3. • The techniques used to determine time standards in
manufacturing include the following:
 Direct time study
 The use of standard data
 Predetermined time standard systems
 Estimates based on previous experience
 Work sampling

4. • Advantages of computerized time standard
systems:
 Reduction in time required by the time study analyst to set the
standard.
 Greater accuracy and uniformity in the time standards.
 Ease of maintaining the methods and standards file when
engineering and methods changes occur.
 Elimination of the controversial performance rating step.
 Time standards can often be set before the job gets into
production.
 Improved manufacturing data base for PP, Scheduling, Forecasting
labor requirements, tool control, and so on.
