Work Measurement Guides

Does this site provide a universal set of time study values for your operation?

No, because it can't be done.
Think about it. Different products are not the same, or methods, or equipment. There will not be a template, or a standard set of values, that matches either your process or products.

But we do provide free work measurement basics, 18 pages.

Perhaps that will be enough for your project. Please request the free articles by email, providing your name and address and perhaps some information about your situation and objectives. Call or include your phone number for a no-obligation discussion if you'd like.

Receive:

• Benefits of work measurement, management tools that are based on the data acquired, different techniques and options for measurement and their characteristics, terms and applications, allied tools, a bit of history and bibliography, motivation.

• A model plan to establish work measurement will include many of these factors, more or less in this sequence. The scope, degree of emphasis, the amount of formality, the priority of action will depend on the particular organization, and on the purpose for which work measurement is intended.

How long does the job take? Arguably, this is the most valuable fact for a business to know. Both direct and indirect labor costs rely on the required time, as do output, capacity, crew sizes, staffing, schedules, product cost, transfer prices, constraints, workload balance, on and on. Let's also suggest that the answer must be both accurate and objective. As with other professions, work measurement proficiency is gained through training and experience. This book explains what to do, why it is necessary, and how to do it; not only study techniques themselves, but also management and control actions to implement work measurement. Both practitioners and managers will learn from the guidance contained.

JPR as a consultant for a major work measurement project

If you have a short reaction time, or a major project, or require a completely objective analysis, then utilize JPR to gain a greater confidence level for timely success. Especially if your own resources don't have the experience, or the time, to devote to a project. We have been called on to settle disagreements; not only between a union and a company, but also within management. We establish standard costs to meet requirements of finance people, and for inter-plant pricing. We determine workloads in advance of negotiations. We can bring one man or a team, to fit the requirements and time frame,

JPR can supplement the written guides, can provide on-site or remote attention, to resolve specific issues or concerns, within your circumstances. Call to discuss your particular situation, at no cost or obligation. When JPR consults with your organization, it will receive a credit for any prior literature purchase, and copies of all of our other proprietary information.
