Does anyone know of any national or international standard that defines minimum requirements for conducting time studies?

If not, does anyone know of any good sources (internet, books, whitepapers, etc) that give good information on conducting time studies?

Thanks in advance!!

Thanks in advance!!
US: search for "Time and Motion Study"

UK : "Work Study"

To start, try these:
Wikipedia reference-linkMethods-Time_Measurement

Wikipedia reference-linkTime_and_motion_study

http://www.valparint.com/mtmartic.htm

If you can find IE handbook, they cover it well.

I also found this book:

Good Luck!

Re: Time Study Standards

Another good book is "Introduction to Work Study" by the International Labor Office - its about $30 and you can order it on Amazon.

The stopwatch is still widely used for time study but it is slowly being replaced by PDA and Videos time collection and summarizing on PC's - the latter is popular as most people can use a camcorder and video is good for lean team reviews i.e. getting people involved in the process of looking for process improvements.

Google searchs as suggested in the previous post will get you to the latest options.

Time that´s pretty broad, do you mean working time? It could be lead-time and lots of other terms related to time...

Hello Sctt31,

Two American 'industrial psychologists' named Frank Bunker Gilbreth & Lillion Moller Gilbreth invented the field of time & motion study.They designated 18 elements to cover this,and gave it a name 'THERBLIG',which is Gilbreth written backwards (mirror image of their last name).See the link below,also google to get plenty more:

Hope this helps

thank you... i need to check something more specific though .... any one knows about the allowances given to workers(e.g relaxation and contingency allowances)... i checked from the international labour organisation and they did not detailed it out and i need what standard allowances for men and women should be used in time studies for calculating the basic times...

Can you contact some of these sources and find out if they can help you further? Researchers are sometimes happy to share their findings with others.
Worth to try?
