Time Study

Direct observation and timing of work elements to establish a representative task time.

Examples

01The engineer performs a time study of the brake assembly, timing 20 cycles of each of the 8 work elements with a stopwatch.
02Before the time study results are used, the engineer checks that the operator follows the standard work and that all parts are available.
03A second time study after the new fixture shows the brake assembly falling from 4.2 to 3.5 minutes per unit.
