Study Notes

Standard Data System (SDS)

  • A database of normal time values, organized by work elements, used to define time standards for tasks with similar work elements.
  • Advantages of SDS:
    • More efficient to use when numerous tasks are similar
    • More productive to use with large data sets to establish standards
    • No need for observation of actual tasks to record data and establish standards
    • Time standards can be established at a lower cost
    • Time standards are more accurate and consistent

When to Use SDS

  • When similar tasks are involved
  • In batch productions
  • With large number of data sets

Work Elements in SDS

  • The database is organized by work elements
  • Normal time is provided for each work element
  • Important to classify work elements into different categories:
    • Setup vs. production elements
    • Constant vs. variable elements
    • Worker-paced vs. machine elements
    • Regular vs. irregular elements
    • Internal vs. external elements

Setup vs. Production Elements

  • Setup elements: associated with activities required to change over from one batch to the next
  • Production elements: associated with the processing of work units within a given batch
  • Batch time: Tb = Tsu + Q Tc

Constant vs. Variable Elements

  • Constant elements: same time value in all time studies and tasks
  • Variable elements: same basic motion elements but normal times vary due to differences in work units

Worker-Paced vs. Machine Elements

  • Worker-paced elements: time values depend on the worker's pace
  • Machine elements: time values depend on the machine's cycle time

Motion-Time Tables

  • Tables used to determine time values for different body members and motions
  • Examples: WF-Motion-Time Table (Arm), WF-Motion-Time Table (Leg), etc.

Simplified Work Factor System

  • A higher-level system used for medium quantities
  • Uses a systematic working factor process
  • Effective in planning projections before actual development starts

Abbreviated Work Factor System

  • A higher-level approach used for small workplaces
  • Based on a comprehensive system of work factors
  • Ideal for quick measurement process

Ready Work Factor System

  • A higher-level job factor used for manual labor
  • Commonly used in manufacturing and other industries
  • Created to meet the need for a simple measurement method
