1、Time Study教程Organisation & Progress Referential“Determination of Unit Times”.AIMThis referential describes the methods and tools to be implemented for establishing unit times. AREA OF APPLICATIONThis referential is to be applied by 01/09/2005 at the latest in all the industrial entities in the Group

2、. The users of the referential are the members of the Organisation and Progress mtier who have been validated for the post of Study Organiser. DEFINITIONS Unit Time :This is the time it takes a capable and trained operator to complete a Unit of Production (U.P) or a Unit of Work in determined condit

3、ions, using the method, machines and equipment provided.You will find an example of a Unit Time sheet at the end of this document. Chronomtrage (Time-study):Time-study is the operation which consists in: Checking that the Method of Work is correctly applied. Assessing and recording the working rate

4、of the operator observed. Measuring and recording times.You will find an example of a time recording sheet at the end of this document. Work Element :This is a portion of work demarcated by two measurement references and consisting of an ordered sequence of defined actions of a homogeneous nature. C

5、oncept of rate :An operators working rate is his instantaneous speed of execution of a useful piece of work when this speed is dependent solely on the operators working rhythm. This rate or speed takes account of the execution conditions (difficulty, precision, ergonomics, etc.). Rating :This is the

6、 operation by which a qualified organiser assesses the working rate of an operator in relation to his mental image of a rate of 100. Reference rate :The reference rate is known as “Rate 100”.This is the working rate which any average operator, capable, trained and qualified to occupy the post, can m

7、aintain constantly throughout his working time at the post (generally an 8 hour shift), without damaging his health. This rate is calibrated on the pre-determined time standards (M.T.M.). Technological times (Tt) :These are elements the duration of which depends only on technological constraints ind

8、ependent of the operator. The operator can only respect these constraints or suffer them. Manual or human times (Tm) :These are elements the duration of which depends only on the operators action. This operation may be performed using an inert means. Techno-manual or techno-human times (Ttm) :These

9、are elements of intermediate nature, i.e. the duration of which depends both on the operators action and on technological constraints which are combined with it. Linked irregular (Unavoidable Anomaly) :This is an event with a random frequency of occurrence, linked directly to a work element planned

10、in the method of work (manual or techno-manual).The irregular has a direct impact on the duration of the work element (e.g. slippage of the roller when joining a laize on a finishing post, re-opening of a bandage bead on a before-cure verification post following its unexpected closure). INSTRUCTIONP

11、recondition : The determination of work element times must be done on an optimised method of work, that is, within the context of a post study after the analysis and critique stages. The unit of time used for the determination of work elements is : The Cmn (hundredth of a minute) for time-study. The

12、 TMU (time measurement unit) for the predetermined time methods (M.O.S.T. or M.T.M.).1 TMU = 1/100,000th of an hour. Unit times are expressed in Cmn (Hundredths of a minute). The different methods of time determination (Tm and Ttm) :Two methods can be used for determining times :1. Predetermined tim

13、e methods, M.T.M. or M.O.S.T.2. Time-study.Choice of method :See flowchart below. M.O.S.T: M.O.S.T. Maynard Operations Sequence TechniqueM.O.S.T. is a technique for the analysis and measurement of work, based on a system of sequences of predetermined movements. Example of sequence (Basic MOST) : A6

14、B6 G1 A1 B0 P3 A0 = 17*10 = 170 TMU- There are different versions of MOST in use within the company (Mini or Basic) which will be employed according to a number of criteria represented in the flowchart below : Precision :M.O.S.T. guarantees a level of precision of 5%and 95% confidence for unit times

15、.Interest of MOST : Speed of establishment of elementary times : Basic MOST is 40 times quicker than MTM1, Mini MOST is 14 times quicker than MTM1, Mini and Basic MOST are 2.5 times quicker than Time-study. MOST is very efficient in optimisation phases (analysis and critique made easier). MOST favou

16、rs uniformity of the results obtained. MOST is easy to explain and understand (common language for operators, supervisors and organisers). This method enables the operators to be more involved in the improvement of their methods of work. The tables of predetermined times correspond to a rate of 100.

17、 There is no need for rating. Possibility of estimating times in advance (simulation). Easier in the updating phases. Less laborious technique than time-study and more rewarding for organisers. Less restricting for operators. Disadvantage: More difficult to identify and put a value on irregulars com

18、pared with Time-study. Potentially, less organiser presence on the ground. Time-study :Implementation of time-study involves breaking down the method of work into work elements. Regular cyclePhaseWork Element Work Element (E.d.T.) : This is a portion of work demarcated by two measurement references

19、and consisting of an ordered sequence of defined actions of a homogeneous nature. This is the smallest portion of work we analyse. Phase: This is a defined set of work elements. N.B. The breakdown into phases is optional ; it depends on the cycle duration. Regular cycle : This is a set of phases, an

20、d consequently work elements, which recur in a determined order when each Production Unit (U.P.) or Unit of Work is being executed. Minimum precision required :The time-study method proposed was developed by the PE3/ET department (M. Serge LAROUX). The document describing the statistical method can

21、be obtained from the O&P school. Case 1 : E.d.T. with a frequency of 1 per Unit of Production at the post.These elements will enable us to define the duration of the minimum period of the simogram. Example : join a laize to produce a roll.See flowchart below : The time adopted is called the elementa

22、ry time or ET.The normality test and the precision calculation take place using the form referred to at the end of the document. Case 2 : E.d.T. with a frequency of 1 per Unit of Production at the post.These elements will enable us to define the duration of the maximum period of the simogram. Exampl

23、e : evacuation of a pallet of rolls from a cutter.See flowchart below :The time adopted is called the elementary time or ET.The normality test and the precision calculation take place using the form referred to at the end of the document. Case 3 : Activities outside Production Unit (e.g. start and e

24、nd of shift, safety instructions).See flowchart below :The time adopted is called the elementary time or ET.The precision calculation is done using the form referred to at the end of the document.Compliance with the proposed method guarantees a level of precision of 5%and 95% confidence for unit tim

25、es.Implementation of the normality test according to the SHAPIRO-WILK method involves the installation of the BUS application under Excel. You must submit a request to your RUL who will give you installation rights. Rating :Validation criterion for rating : the organiser must demonstrate that he has

26、 the ability to practise rating. He is qualified in this practice when he is considered stable on the criteria of “Mean deviation” (tolerance of 3%) and “Standard deviation” (tolerance = 5.5). This stabilisation is monitored using the form referred to at the end of the document. After stabilisation,

27、 he must carry out a minimum of 6 exercises of 15 sequences per quarter, i.e. 24 exercises a year. Maintained qualification in rating is one of the essentials of the Mtier Guarantee and is the responsibility of the ROPs in the sites. Technological times :The determination of technological times is b

28、ased on : Measured times, analysed using the form (identical to the one used for time-study) referred to at the end of the document and in accordance with the precision rules explained in the “Time-study” section. Times calculated by a technical or methods group (for example, of the speed type in pr

29、eparation or dependent on advance and speed for machining time). Times coming from control systems which will be analysed manually so as to identify the unforeseen elements. Technological times must be standardised and maintained long-term in all cases. This responsibility lies with the Organiser. L

30、inked Irregular times (Unavoidable Anomalies) :The determination of Linked Irregular times is based on : MOST analysis if the nature of the anomaly permits (e.g. eliminate defects from a laize). Times measured when taking time readings. The frequency of occurrence of the anomaly, determined from the

31、 data collected during the time-study session or by continuous observation.The unit time sheet :It must be totally consistent with the chronology of operations coming from the simogram.It is an essential component of the study dossier.It is the base document for measuring the activity of people and machine loads.It must show :Identification of the production workshop.Identification of the work postIdentification of the organiser.Identification of the production unit.Page numbering and date of execution.Simogram references.Num
