Stopwatch Time Study Services

How work is Measured?

• Work can be measured using following work measurement techniques - 

• Stopwatch Time Study 
• Production Time Study​ 

• Work Sampling  
• PMTS (Predetermined Motion Time Standards) 

Stopwatch time study is a technique for studying work methods –  

• Analyse the job to establish the quality to be achieved in the job. 

• Identify key operations to be timed in the job. 
• Get improved procedure from the method study department. 
• Organise resources and explain the objectives of time study to the worker and supervisor. 
• Explain details to worker about improved working procedure. 
• Break operation into elements to separate the constant elements from variable elements. 

• Observe and record the time taken by an operator. 
• Determine for number cycles to be timed and then the average time or representative time can be found out. 
• Calculate normal time from observed time by using performance rating factor. 
• Add process allowance rest and personal allowance and special allowances to the normal time in order to obtain standard time or allowed time. 
• Standard time determination by adding normal time and allowances.​
