Hi All,
I am working on my M.Tech project focused on Time and Motion Study within an industry. I have already recorded the standard time, and now I am looking for suggestions on new methods or ideas to reduce the overall time. Could anyone help me with ideas or steps to decrease the overall cycle time? Your assistance is greatly appreciated.
Please let me know if you require any additional information. Thank you in advance for your help.
Best regards

Dear Manjunath,
How did you set the standard time? Have you done a method study of the work in question? If so, what charts, etc., have you produced? Have you analyzed the present method to see where inefficiencies occur?
Sorry for raising a lot of questions. I worked for years as a Productivity Services Officer/manager in the UK before becoming an academic.
Have a nice day.

Hi Simhan,
Thank you for your prompt reply. Currently, I have only been recording the time using a stopwatch. I am planning to create a PERT Activity Chart, but aside from that, I have not made any progress.
Could you please assist me in figuring out the next steps to reduce the time taken?
Thank you,

Thank you, Manjunath, for the response. You can't set standard times by just recording the time with a stopwatch. How do you know at what rate the workers were working? What will the PRT chart do? You need to provide more information about the type of work in question for me to guide you. I suggest that you read material available on the Internet regarding Time and Motion study. Please drop me a private message with as much detail as you can, if you wish.
