    The document discusses various work study techniques such as method study, work measurement, motion study, and time study which are used to analyze work processes and identify opportunities to improve efficiency. It provides definitions and objectives of these techniques, as well as addressing how to determine standard and normal times based on observed performance times accounting for ratings and allowances. The overall goal of work study is to systematically evaluate factors that impact productivity and costs in order to effect improvements.

    WORK STUDY

    WHAT IS WORK STUDY


    Work study is a generic term for those
    techniques, method study and work
    measurement which are used in the
    examination of human work in all its
    contexts. And which lead systematically to
    the investigation of all the factors which
    affect the efficiency and economy of the
    situation being reviewed, in order to effect
    improvement.
    ADVANTAGES OF WORK STUDY
    1. It helps to achieve the smooth production flow with
    minimum interruptions.
    2. It helps to reduce the cost of the product by
    eliminating waste and unnecessary operations.
    3. Better worker-management relations.
    4. Meets the delivery commitment.
    5. Reduction in rejections and scrap and higher utilization
    of resources of the organization.
    6. Helps to achieve better working conditions.
    7. Better workplace layout.
    8. Improves upon the existing process or methods and
    helps in standardization and simplification.
    9. Helps to establish the standard time for an operation or
    job which has got application in manpower planning,
    production planning.
    WHAT IS METHOD STUDY
    “Method study is the systematic recording and
    critical examination of existing and proposed
    ways of doing work, as a means of developing
    and applying easier and more effective
    methods and reducing costs.”
    OBJECTIVES OF METHOD
    STUDY
     1. Improved layout and design of workplace.
     2. Improved and efficient work procedures.
     3. Effective utilization of men, machines and
    materials.
     4. Improved design or specification of the
    final product.
    WHAT IS MOTION STUDY
    Motion study is part of method study where
    analysis of the motion of an operator or work
    will be studied by following the prescribed
    methods.
    WHAT IS TIME STUDY
     According to British Standard Institute time
    study has been defined as “The application
    of techniques designed to establish the time
    for a qualified worker to carry out a
    specified job at a defined level of
    performance.”
    STEPS OF TIME STUDY
     Select
     Define
     Obtain & record
     Extend
     Measure
     Compute
     Determine
    WHAT IS ERGONOMICS
    Ergonomics (or human factors) is the scientific
    discipline concerned with the understanding
    of interactions among humans and other
    elements of a system, and the profession
    that applies theory, principles, data and
    methods to design in order to optimize
    human well-being and overall system
    performance. 
    PROBLEM
     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.
    PROBLEM
     An operator manufactures 50 jobs in 6 hours
    and 30 minutes. If this time includes the
    time for setting his machine.

    Calculate the operator’s efficiency. Standard


    time allowed for the job was: Setting time =
    35 min ,Production time per piece = 8 min
    PROBLEM
     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%
