This 3-day workshop covers most of the fundamental approaches to developing work standards that are necessary for efficient planning and management of many aspects of production operations.

Work Standard Development through a properly taught time measurement technique can be used to design JIT production lines. It also provides a benchmark to measure the performance of production line design, team cell design, work station design as well as a means to balance the flow of materials through the shopfloor.

Properly used, time measurement can be used to carry out productivity audit, methods audits and cycle time audit of every work station to check compliance with Standard Operation Procedure. The concept of what constitutes an acceptable standard that measures the company operations against an international performance benchmark is of importance to engineers and shop operations personnel.

What differentiates a Motivated Performance Standard from the Normal Performance Standard? How to identify a skilled performance? What are the components of a Work Standard? How should it be developed? These are some of the many issues that would be addressed in addition to learning and applying practical techniques to method engineer the process for improvement.
