Ch. 30: Standard Data • Means the reuse of previous times. • For example, predict cost of automotive repairs.
Advantages of Using Standard Data • Ahead of Production • The operation does not have to be observed. • Allows estimates to be made for bids, method decisions, and scheduling. • Cost • Time study is expensive. • Standard data allows you to use a table or an equation. • Consistency • Values come from a bigger database. • Random errors tend to cancel over many studies. • Consistency is more important than accuracy.
Disadvantages of Standard Data • Imagining the Task • The analyst must be very familiar with the task. • Analysts may forget rarely done elements. • Database Cost • Developing the database costs money. • There are training and maintenance costs.
Motions vs. Elements • Decision is about level of detail. • MTM times are at motion level. • An element system has a collection of individual motions. • Elements can come from an analysis, time studies, curve fitting, or a combination.
Constant vs. Variable • Each element can be considered either constant or variable. • Constant elements either occur or don’t occur. • Constant elements tend to have large random error. • Variable elements depend on specifics of the situation. • Variable elements have smaller random error.
Developing the Standard • Plan the work. • Classify the data. • Group the elements. • Analyze the job. • Develop the standard.
Curve Fitting • To analyze experimental data: • Plot the data. • Guess several approximate curve shapes. • Use a computer to determine the constants for the shapes. • Select which equation you want to use.
Statistical Concepts • Least-squares equation • Standard error • Coefficient of variation • Coefficient of determination • Coefficient of correlation • Residual
