PRESENTATION ON Time and Motion Study BY:- KANIKA SOOD 108K18 AASHI AGARWAL 108K22

Time and Motion Study: Defined A method created to determine the ‘correct time’ it takes to complete a certain task A method to establish ‘the one best way to perform a task’

A collection of techniques used to examine work - what is done and how it is done - so that there is systematic analysis of all the elements, factors, resources and relationships affecting the efficiency and effectiveness of the work being studied.

WORK STUDY: Work study measures work and defines performance standards. There are many uses for time estimates for tasks. Operations managers can guess or assume that a job is done in the correct time or they can be systematic and use time data gathered by a systematic technique which has reasonable accuracy.

Objective: The objective of the Time and Motion Study is to determine a ‘normal’ or average time for a job, by using observers to record exactly how much time is being devoted to each task.

Work study data contributes to: Improved methods to raise output, quality, reduce wastage, enhance reliability and ensure safety. Standard time data contributes to capacity planning, scheduling, control of staff, asset utilisation and quality improvement. Service and after-sales method improvements may be obtained as well as process improvement and better raw materials usage.

Implementation planning for product/service and process design requires a detailed understanding of methods and timings. In a distribution/transport system we can evaluate logistical efficiencies.

Motion and time study is considered to be the backbone of industrial engineering, industrial technology, and industrial management programs because the information that time studies generate affects so many other areas, including the following: 1. Cost estimating 2. Production and inventory control 3. Plant layout 4. Materials and processes 5. Quality 6. Safety

Motion study comes first before the setting of time standards. Motion study is a detailed analysis of the work method in an effort to improve it. Motion studies are used to 1. Develop the best work method. 2. Develop motion consciousness on the part of all employees. 3. Develop economical and efficient tools, fixtures, & production aids. 4. Assist in the selection of new machines and equipment. 5. Train new employees in the preferred method. 6. Reduce effort and cost.

Some of the techniques of motion and time study are:  Flow diagrams  Multi activity charts  Operation charts  Flow process charts  Process charts  Operations analysis chart  Work station design  Motion economy  Flow patterns
