For the purposes of measuring work, work can be considered as
repetitive or non-repetitive. By saying repetitive we mean that the task is given
continuously throughout the entire time dedicated to the production of the product. In
non-repetitive work includes some types of maintenance work and
construction, in which the work cycle itself almost never repeats in the same way

11.2 DEFINITION:

The study of times with the stopwatch, also called industrial timing,
is defined as: "The measurement technique for recording time and rhythm of
work corresponding to the elements of a defined and performed task in
determined conditions as well as to analyze the data in order to find out
the time required to carry out the task at a predetermined level of execution.

The objective is to establish, through this technique, the standard time of the
tasks that occur within the processes, it is necessary to have the support of the
qualified workers for that task, as they have acquired the skill and
knowledge, respecting safety and quality standards.

The analyst responsible for the study should talk in advance with the
workers selected on the purpose and objective of the time study
so that at the moment the duration of his task is measured, he will
execute in a normal manner. If support from the force is not available
labor, the analyst must resort to using video to record these tasks and
then be able to study them.

3. Provide as much detail as possible about the work.
4. Record measurable criteria, for example, seam length in centimeters,
number of stops during sewing, number of pressings for the
execution of an ironing process, etc.
5. Choose clearly recognizable measurement points. The more precise the
chosen point (example: lower the presser foot) the more precise they will be

11.4 VALUATION:

The valuation procedure consists of comparing the speed of work of a

worker with the mental image of a normal man that the engineer has
industrial. This means assessing the performance of work activity
observed and its difficulty.

The industrial engineer first assesses the difficulty of the work in order to
to form a concept of appropriate performance appearance for work and
then judge the observed activity in relation to your imagined concept
through the assessment scales.
The evaluation scales aim to weigh the external factors that
they affect the work pace, generating leveling.
Therefore, the normal time is obtained as follows:
tn=0x Fv

WESTINGHOUSE VALUATION SYSTEM:

The Westinghouse method seeks to level the activities that are carried out and the
time that they take evaluating factors. This assessment is the measurement of the
operator activities during the time study based on an activity
normal. Those factors surrounding the work that determine the
the same environment.

The basis of this valuation is determined by four factors:

Dexterity
Effort
Conditions
Consistency

The first two are by far the most important; each of the four
elements carry with them a special or limited meaning.

Skill: It is defined as expertise resulting from a specific method, the

skill demonstrated is judged based on the definitions and is
compared to a normal concept with its deviations.

Effort: Effort is defined as the desire to work; it is considered that it is

always under the operator's control, it is judged based on the spirit with which the
The worker undertakes his job. It can vary from idleness to excess.

Conditions: These are those that affect the operator more than the execution. They
included for leveling purposes the light, heat, ventilation; or rather,
the variations of these conditions, that is, what is normally supplied
for a specific operation. The conditions of this factor cover only
deviations below normal.

Consistency: It was originally established as a factor to attract attention.

about the magnitude of it or its absence. The recommendation is made that it should

11.6 WORK SUPPLEMENTS:

The supplements are expressed as a percentage and are applied to the basic time.
In order to obtain the standard time, these time percentages are found
in tables prepared by the ILO, aimed at providing times of
rest or recovery so that the operator can continue normally
with their work.
a) Rest supplements:
Rest supplements are divided into two groups:

Eng. Florencio Solís Page 12

 WORK STUDY

Constant or fixed supplements. Those related to personal needs and

to the recovery of fatigue, whose value does not change depending on the work that is done
It is carried out. There is only one variation due to the worker's gender.
Variable supplements. They are those whose value depends on the type of
work carried out by the operator, considering aspects such as the use of their
force, their physical position at work, mental tension, auditory or level of
monotony that is caused.

b) Supplements for contingencies:

In this case, the unavoidable waits caused by the machine or the

workers motivated by some external cause.
These delays may be due to small adjustments, changing tools-
time lost due to variations in the material and interruptions of the
inspectors.
The class and amount of waits for a given working time must be
determined through studies that cover the entire workday or
sampling studies conducted over a sufficient period of time to
obtain trustworthy data.
These supplements are also known as waiting supplements. Their
application can be given representing them as a percentage of normal time, or
if it is convenient, the corresponding waiting time will be evaluated and
will add to the normal time to obtain the standard time.
It is advisable to define in some cases the frequency of presentation of the
waits to be added according to the shift: day, week, or month of
occurrence.
In some cases, these times are presented for each batch.

four production processes: A, B, C, D. For this, the collection has been developed
times by continuous timing, resulting in the following table (min)

The assessment was developed following the Westinghouse scale, having:
Skill : C1 consistencia: E

The work was observed by measuring times for a group of workers.
There is visual strain due to precision work. And the percentage of times
frequent is 2%.

To evaluate the normal time of the activity, we should first apply the
individual assessment of each observed time, using the following relationship:

 STUDY OF WORK
Exercise 11
A time study is to be conducted for the task 'placing lids'. This task consists of
to place a hot liquid chemical compound in a mold, at the end of the cylinder.
The liquid dries quickly forming a very hard cap. The purpose of the caps is
leave a smooth surface at the ends of the cylinder, for the uniform application of the
force that will break the concrete. A time study will allow us to calculate the cost of
labor to put caps on to test the cylinders.
