Dear Mani,
Time & motion study and setting rates is a professional's job. When I worked as an Industrial Engineer, I underwent training and first set rates alongside a professional before I was allowed to set rates without supervision.
The training involves watching Rating Films and rating the activities and then comparaing against the rates already established for the tasks. The normal yardstick for persons working with incentives is the British Standard rate of 100 (equivalent a person walking 4 miles per hour).
But before setting rates, you need to conduct a method study to ensure that the most efficient and effective method is prescribed.

Dear Mani,
First of all let me introduce myself first. I'm Hiren Vyas, an Industrial engineer, working on projects like time and motion study, Lean implementation, Kaizen, JIT, 5S, SMED etc. To conduct T&M study, you should follow the basic steps:
1. Select the job first - break it in to sub elements
2. take the no of observations of those sub-elements (No of samples should be based as per ILO guidelines, Ex: If sample is of 5 sec. - 40 readings should be there; If it is of 1 Hr - 4 readings should be there. there is samlpe formulae also).
3. Rate the worker by comparing a worker working on a average pace in normal conditions. Rating for ideal worker - 100
4. O.T+O.T*Rating=Basic Time
5. Take mean of those basic times
6. Add necessary allowances as per ILO guidelines (No of allowances are there- I cant describe those all here)
7. Basic Time+allowances=Standard time
8. Add all Standard times of all sub-elements = std time for the Activity
9. find out you shift supply time and actual working time by deducting lunch, tea breaks etc.
10. Actual available time / Std time for activity = Productivity / Manpower required
This is a very deep subject...this is just a brief...you should refer ILO for the same, or take some case studies from net.
I'm sorry as I can't explain you in detail right now. Or you can contact me on my cell if you need further guidence. +91 9898132180 (India)

Dear Bhagirathi,
You have asked a question that can't be answered, as the methods employed will depend upon the nature of the work. I used to be an Industrial Engineer practising Work Study (comprises of Method Study and Time Study). I have used stop watch method, Pre-determined Motion Time Methods (Ready Work Factor in Philips and MTM in Littlewoods), and electronic boards by Tectime Work Measurement and Data Collection with Tectime Data Systems Limited
I suggest that you buy a good book on it to learn the concepts. However, the application of concepts requires training under experts.
http://www.rwjf.org/files/research/0...eandmotion.pdf show how it was applied in a hospital setting.

Hallo ,
I am Raju Prasad by profession an Industrial engineer.I am in this arena since inception my my careeer in Industrial engineering.Coming to the point.. Time and method sutdy...It's work measurement techniqe.Most of industries in India to measure work and define their norms by using Stop watch techniques.It is widely accepted by indian industries as well.To measure any work it is to be followed by both METHOD STUDY AND TIME STUDY.
IN METHOD STUDY,
The present methood of doing work is analysed based on nature and it is divided in elements on below criteria,
1.Work has to be selected
2.It has to be Recorde
3.It has to be Examined
4.New method to do work is to be developed
5.Same new method is to be installed
6.Lastry evryone is trained and it is to be maintained
IN METHOD STUDY FOLLOWING THINGS CAN BE ANALYSED WITH A VIEW TO IMPROVE WORK,
1.Workplace Layout
2.Ergonomical Factors,
3.Man and Material movement
4.Body motions
5.Flow of man,material and information pattern
6.Sequence of opertation and activity
7.Type of material handling equip. used
8.Necessary tools and accesories use by associate
Once it it permormed in a mucn syctematic way one can move to work measurement study by stop watch.
IN TIME STUDY IS FOLLOWED BY BELOW ACTIVITIES,
1.Work has to be selected
2.Average Worker/Associate has to be selected
3.Dept head and supervisor is informed
4.Work is divided into various motions or elemental activities
5..Based on cycle continious or spilt reading of stop watch can be taken.
6..NO of reading can be taken based on sample size or cycle time of work content as per ILO Guidlines
7.Once it has recorded based on personal judgement (Considering skill,speed and accuracy of work ) Person can be rated.
You can use ILO Guidlines for Rating methods (Ideal fellow is considered 100 Percent Pace rating) As per British Gudilines 100 pace means walking 4 meal distance in 3.5 minutes.
8.After rating once will get total recorded time -X minutes
9.Recorded time is multiplies with rating factor and one can get Basic Time..Basic time= Recorded time*Rating factor
For example if recorded time is 5 min and rating is 80 % then basic time will be = 5*0.8= 4 mintues
10.Once basic time is derrived once can add allowance as per work plce arrangement and type of industry and nature of work
Allowances can be like...Fatigue allownces,Personal allowances,Contingency allowances,Delay allowances,Special allowances etc.
Genrally as per induatry practice one can give Personal allowance as 5% of basic time and Fatigue 4 % of basic time,Contingency 2% of basic time and subsequently delay one.
11.To arrive Standard time of a particular activity or work Basic time us sumed up with allowance time.
Fomula for same is as below..
Standard time= Basic time+ Allowances
As far as cycle time is considered for a shift for a particular product or activity all limitations has to be added.In many cases..Say for example aprt from doing a specific activity or assembly of any product worker has to to other cyclic activities..like walk to collect material,time for TPM activies,Walk for collect bins from store dept,Based on freq. and intensity of activities it has to be derrived in percaentage and added with Standard time to arrive actual production cycle time.
This time has to be added on Jop cards or rouiting of any product.
On the other side as far as shift capacity is concerned other time like lunch time,Tea Break,Other break and OEE has to be considered to arrive particulay shif or capacity of Equip.
Hope this much data is enough to clear all you doubts.
In case for more help you can reach to me on
or you call give me call on my cell-9913697915.
Good luck.
regards,
Raju Prasad
