Introduction- The aim of the work study lab is to study systematic examination of
how work is done. All aspect of work under consideration are analyses in a
scientific manner. The general idea is to find ways and means of doing the same
work in a better and easier manner. Such a study will lead the elimination of
unnecessary portion in the work. This interned will lead work simplification and
consequently higher efficiency. Actually work study aims to find the best and most
efficient way of using available resources i.e men, material, money and machinery.
The study of work will lead us to find batter method of work. Work study is
primarily concern with the operation rather than the technical process. The
operation naturally involves human being. Work study is not usually concern in
study of work purely as a technical process. It is essentially concerns with human
work. A continuous study at the work place where the activity is taking place it is
necessary together the facts relating to the work. This would required a separate
full time person such a person is called a work study man .The one phase work
study is called method study or motion study is concern with the determination of
the best way of doing a job and another is time study or work measurement is the
application of different technique to measure the required time to complete the job
by qualified worker at a defined level of performance. In this woke study lab of
Jazan university we have covered major aspect of method study or motion study
with the help of flow process chart and work measurement or time study with the
help of time study instruments to calculate standard time

Objective- The objective of this lab is to make the flow chart of any activity using
standard chart symbol and find out the basic time, standard time of different
activities.

List of Lab Experiments

1) To draw Outline Flow Process Chart of any Activity using Standard Chart
Symbols.
2) Left and Right Hand Process Chart for a assembly of Pin, Washer and Collar
Using Purdue Pegboard.
3) To Calculate the Basic Time requires to complete the assembly task using
Purdue Pegboard Assembly Test.
4) To calculate the Standard Time (ST) for an Activity called Minnesota
Dexterity Placing Test.
5) A Particular task observation were taken .To verify these observation are
sufficient for 5% accuracy also indicates the minimum number of
observation required.
6) To calculate the basic Time, standard time from the given observations for a
desire accuracy 5% with confidence level 95% for activity.
