Work Measurement Canvas

The document contains information about calculating standard time (ST) from observed time (OT) including: ST is calculated from OT and performance rating (PR) as NT x AF. AF for a job is 1+A and for a day is 1/(1-A). The number of samples (n) needed can be calculated using the allowable error (e) or percentage (a), standard deviation (s), and z-value for the desired confidence level. Problem 1 provides observed times and ratings to calculate the standard time for a job with 4 elements and 15% allowance factor. Problem 2 gives times from a pilot study to calculate the number of samples needed to estimate the average time within 2% at 99

OT = average of observations; NT = OT x PR; ST = NT x AF

AFjob = 1 + A; AFday = 1/(1-A);


n = (zs/a*xbar)^2; n = (zs/e)^2; a = allowable % error; e = allowable error not in %; s = SQRT((total sq. diff)/(n-1))
z values: 90% = 1.65; 95% = 1.96; 95.5% = 2.00; 98% = 2.33; 99% = 2.58

Problem 1. A time study was conducted on a job that contains four elements. The observed times and
performance ratings for six cycles are shown in the following table. Assuming allowance factor of 15% of job
time. Compute the standard time for this job.

Problem 2. How many work cycles could be timed to estimate the average cycle time to within 2% of the sample mean
with a confidence of 99% if a pilot study yielded these times (in minutes): 5.2, 5.5, 5.8, 5.3, 5.5, and 5.1?
