The document discusses method study, which involves systematically analyzing work processes to improve efficiency. It describes the objectives and procedures of method study, including defining the current process, recording it, examining it through questioning, developing an improved method, installing the new method, and maintaining it. Common recording techniques and classifications of movements are also outlined.
The document discusses work measurement techniques used to establish standard times for jobs. It describes breaking jobs down into elements, recording element times using cumulative timing, and setting standards that exclude ineffective time so workers are not targeted. The goal is to reveal all sources of ineffective time and set attainable standards through work measurement.
The worker and machine process chart (Man-machine chart) shows the exact time relationship between the working cycle of a person and the operating cycle of a machine at a specific workstation. It can be used to detect idle time on machines and workers, optimize work distribution, and decide the appropriate number of workers. The example shows a man-machine chart for the current and improved methods of a casting production process. The improved method reduces the cycle time from 2 minutes to 1.4 minutes by decreasing the idle times for both the worker from 0.8 to 0.2 minutes and the machine from 1.2 to 0.6 minutes.
Work sampling is a technique used to determine the percentage of time workers or machines spend in different states like working, idle, etc. This is done by taking a large number of instantaneous random observations over time. The ratio of observations where a worker/machine is engaged in a particular activity to the total observations gives the percentage of time spent on that activity. Taking a large number of random samples improves the accuracy of the results.

The document discusses various methods of work measurement used to set performance standards, including time study, work sampling, predetermined motion time study, and analytical estimation. Time study with a stopwatch is the most commonly used method, involving selecting a job, standardizing the method, timing each element, and setting the standard time. Work sampling observes workers at random intervals to estimate time spent working. Predetermined motion time study sets standard times for basic motions. Analytical estimation uses standard data or experience to set times for long, non-repetitive jobs when data is unavailable. The document also covers how to properly use a stopwatch to time elements using either a fly back or continuous method.
Time study is a work measurement technique used to determine the time required to complete a specific task. The goal is to calculate a standard time that a qualified worker can consistently achieve. Motion study is conducted before time study to analyze each job. Time study breaks jobs into small elements that are timed. The times are averaged and adjustments are made based on the worker's rating. Standard time is calculated by adding allowances like fatigue to the basic time. Ergonomics aims to optimize the relationship between humans and their working environment to improve efficiency, safety and satisfaction.

• Helps in assigning workers the job they
can excel in.
• Provides a feedback to the worker and
helps them to work more effectively.
3. Performance rating is a step in the work
measurement in which the analyst observes the
worker's performance and records a value
representing that performance relative to the
analyst's concept of standard performance.
4. • Pace Rating
• Westinghouse System of Rating
• Objective Rating
• Synthetic Rating
5. 1. Pace Rating
Speed of the movements is the only rating
factor.
NORMAL TIME=observed time x
Worker’s speed
Speed expected
from the worker

7. 2. Westinghouse System of Rating
This method considers four factors:
• Skill
• Effort
• Conditions
• Consistency
9. Ques. Let the time observed for an operation be 0.6
minutes and a worker while being observed, is
estimated as give in the table. What is the normal
time?
Ans. The algebraic sum indicates that worker is 13%
above average or his pace is 113%.
So, Rating factor = 1.13
NORMAL TIME = 0.6*1.13 = 0.678 min
10. In this system, speed of movements and job
difficulty are rated separately and the two
estimates are combined into a single value.
The rating factor R can be expressed as
R = P x D
where P = Pace rating factor
D = Job difficulty adjustment factor
11.
12. Synthetic Rating
Following are the steps:
1. Time study is made as usual.
2. Some manually controlled elements of the
work cycle are selected and using a PMT
system (Pre-determined motion time system),
the times for these selected elements are
determined.
3. Now determined time is compared with actual
observed time to find performance factor by
following formula.
13. Performance or Rating Factor, R = P / A
where P = Predetermined motion time of the element
A = Average actual observed time of the element.
14. Example : A work cycle has been divided into 8 elements
and time study has been conducted. The average observed
times for the elements are given in the following Table.
Using synthetic method find normal time.
15. Solution:
Total observed time of work cycle = 2.32 min
Suppose we select three elements 2, 5 and 8(manually controlled).
Rating factor for element 2 = 0.145 / 0.16 = 90.62 %.
Rating factor for element 5 = 0.255 / 0.26 = 98.08 %.
Rating factor for element 8 = 0.145 / 0.15 = 96.66 %.
The mean of the rating factors = 90.62+98.08+96.66
=95.12%

16. 95 % is the rating factor that will be used for all the
manual elements of the work cycle.
17. Normal Cycle Time
= 0.95(0.14+0.16+0.52+0.26+0.45+0.34+0.15) +1.00(0.30)
=1.92+0.30
=2.22 minutes
Notas do Editor
The time study personnel observes the speed of movements of worker against a standard expected pace and notes the relationship b/w them as a rating factor.
this is also called the speed rating method, the time study person judges the operator’s speed of movements, i.e. the rate at which he is applying himself, or in other words "how fast" the operator performs the motions involved.
Skill:It is demonstrated by co-ordination of mind and hands. A person's skill in a given operation increases with his experience on the job, because increased familiarity with work brings speed, smoothness of motions and freedom from hesitations.
By algebraically combining the ratings with respect to each of the four factors, the final performance-rating factor is estimated.
If a worker gets a negative value, he is considered below average.
The rating of job difficulty is done by selecting adjustment factors corresponding to following characteristics of operation.
This system has advantages over other as it does not rely on the judgment of time study person and gives consistent results.
The overall rating factor is the mean of rating factors determined for the selected elements. This is applied uniformly to all the manually controlled elements of the work cycle.
