Study Notes

Standard Time and Normal Time

  • Standard time (Tstd) is the normal time (Tn) with an allowance for losses due to personal time, fatigue, and delays.
  • Standard time is calculated using the formula: Tstd = Tn (1 + APFD), where APFD is the PFD allowance factor.
  • It is the time allowed for an average worker to process one work unit using the standard method and working at a normal pace.
  • Normal time (Tn) is the time needed to complete an operation by an employee working at a normal pace and at 100% efficiency, with no delays and no time allowances.

Calculating Standard Time

  • The formula to calculate total shift time is: Total shift time = Actual worked time + (APFD x Actual worked time)
  • Example: If APFD is 15% and the total shift time is 8.0 hours, the actual worked time can be calculated as: Actual worked time = 8 / 1.15 = 6.956 hours/shift
  • The production quantity (Q) can be calculated using the formula: Q = (Actual worked time x 60) / 3.48, where Q = 120 parts/shift

Key Concepts

  • PFD allowance factor (APFD) is a percentage value that accounts for losses due to personal time, fatigue, and delays.
  • The formula to calculate standard time takes into account the APFD to determine the total time required to complete a task.
