Learning Objectives:
• Able to collect time data directly and indirectly.

• Able to define efficient movement and classfy the motion into effective and
ineffective movement.

• Able to define time cycle, normal time and standard time by applying
Westtinghouse and Internationale de Labour Organization (ILO) allowance
method.
• Able to collect motion data directly and indirectly.

• Able to define Therbligh movement and classfy the motion into effective and
• Able to eliminate or reduce ineffective movement base on given study case.
• Able to analyze current workstation layout and propose the optimal one.

Time Study = Work Measurement
“For determining the standard time to perform a
specific task”
-Ralph M. Barnes-
Two applicable methods in time
measurements:
Indirect Direct
Measurements Measurement
• MOST Movement Data

• Work Factor • Stopwatch
• MTM • Sampling
• Basic Movement
Interruptions (for
extra time):
• Personal Interruptions:
• Short time rest
• Going to the toilet
2. Fatigue:
• Rest for lunch
3. Unavoidable Delay (Delay Allowance)

• Delay caused by machine's
maintenance

Example:
Measurement of Assembly Time Measurement of Cycle Time
Cycle time:
= (31,54 + 31,69 + ... + 46,65) / 8
= 300 / 8
= 37,5 seconds
Example (Continue):
Work Performance Rating
Rating factor = 1 + performance rating

= 1 + 0.07
= 1.07
Normal Time = Average cycle time x (rating factor)
= 37.5 x 1.07
= 40.13 seconds
Example (Continue):
Allowances:
Statistical Test
The formula for test data adequacy:
N’ = Number of observations needed

k = Confidence level
s = Degree of accuracy
N = Number of observations have been done
Xj = Observations data
Confidence Level
Confidence level can be acquired from table z:

Motion Study = Work Methods Design
What is it?
“A method that is used to analyze the movement of certain
parts of operator’s body during the completion of a work”
What for?
“For finding the preferred method of doing work. That is, the
ideal method or the one nearest to it”
- Ralph M. Barnes
The 17 basic
motions called
THERBLIGS
Therbligs is created by Gilbreth, he

concluded that all work need
combinations of movement from
the 17 basic motions (8 Effective
and 9 Ineffective Therbligs).
Two-Hand Process Chart
MTM Method
Look at your module. That are the MTM table we will
use for the practicum.
“The MTM method is a method to record and analyze the

movement of operator’s right and left hand movement during the
completion of their work”

Kaizen
“Kaizen is a continuous improvement method that is used to

improve processes in many work fields”
Operator’s productivity depends on how well the workplace

layout he works at.
Kaizen Example:
3 Prinsip Perancangan Layout:
1.Frequency of use principle

2.Sequence of use principle
3.Important of use principle
