Engineering Work Study

Exercises
EXERCISE 1

Find out the standard time using the following data:

Average time for machine elements = 6 min

Average time for manual elements = 4 min

Performance rating = 110%

Allowances = 10%
SOLUTION 1

Normal time = Machinery time + Manual time × Rating

6 + 4 × 1.1

6 + 4.4 = 10.4 min

Standard time = Normal time + Allowances

10.4 + 10.4 ×10 ÷ 100

10.4 (1 + 0.1) = 11.44 min.


EXERCISE 2
Assuming that the total observed time for an operation of

assembling an electric switch is 1.00 min. If the rating is 120%, find normal time. If an

allowance of 10% is allowed for the operation, determine the standard time.
SOLUTION 2
•Obsersved time (or) selected time = 1.00
min

•Rating = 120%

•Allowance = 10%

•As we know that, normal time = Observed time × Rating % ÷ 100 = 1.00 ×(120 ÷100)=1.20min

•Allowance @ 10% = 1.20 ×(10 ÷ 100) = 0.12 min

•Standard time = Normal time + Allowances

•1.20 + 0.12 = 1.32


min.
EXERCISE 3

An operator is expected to produce iron bars in 4 hours. It should take 20min to produce each

Iron bars. At the end of 4 hours the operator had produced 9 Iron bars. What is Operators's Performance

in percentage
SOLUTION 3

Operators Perfromance = Observed Performance/Normal Performance

9 Iron Bars/12 Iron Bars

0,75 x100%

75%
EXERCISE 4
Cycles Observed in minutes
Job Element 1 2 3 4 5 6 Performance Rating
1 5 4 3 4 5 4 85%
2 5 6 4 5 3 5 100%
3 4 3 2 5 3 6 105%
4 6 3 2 4 3 6 100%

8 6 4 6 4 3 4 100%
9 4 5 4 3 6 4 85%
10 5 3 3 3 4 3 90%

Find normalised time and do starndard time to complete the job:

Allowance given is 12%


SOLUTION 4

4 5 4 3 6 4 4.33 3.68
5 3 3 3 4 3 3.50 3.15
38.49 Total normalised time to complete the job

Standard Time = Normalised time (1+Allowance)

= 38.49(1+0,12)

= 43.11
EXERCISE 5

Cycles Observed in minutes

Job Element 1 2 3 4 5 6 Performance Rating

1 3 4 2 3 4 4 90%

4 49 3 2 4 4 3 100%

Find normalised time and do starndard time to complete the job:

Allowance given is 15%


SOLUTION 5

Normalised

3 4 2 3 4 4 3.33 3.00

5 6 4 0 3 5 4.60 5.52

9 8 7 9 0 7 8.00 8.40

0 3 2 4 4 3 3.20 3.20

20.12 Total normalised time to complete the job

Standard Time = Normalised time (1+Allowance)

= 20,12 (1+0,15)

= 23.138
