TIME STUDY

STEPS:
1. Define tasks to be studied
2. Divide tasks into precise elements
3. Define number of cycles
4. Setup time and record elements
5. Compute for average observed time
6. Determine performance rating
7. Develop total normal time
8. Compute for standard time

 Standards may be obtained from:

Historical methods
Stopwatch time study
Work sampling
Pre-determined time standards

 Westing House rating scale

Skills and effort
Pace rating or speed rating
Objective rating
Synthetic rating
Physiological rating methods

 Watch time
Observed time
