    Productivity Method Study. Work Measurement Masonry Systems Case Study

    Uploaded by

    pandaprasad
    This document discusses productivity studies for masonry construction. It defines productivity as the ratio of output to input. Productivity can be improved by reducing basic work content through method studies and reducing ineffective time through work measurement techniques. Method studies systematically examine work methods to develop more efficient procedures, while work measurement establishes time standards for jobs by timing workers. The document then describes various work measurement techniques like work sampling, stopwatch time studies, predetermined motion time systems, and standard data, which can be used to set performance standards, estimate costs, and improve planning. It concludes with an overview of common masonry systems like brick, block, and interlocking block masonry.

    Work measurement

    Method study.
    Definition:

    Method study is systematic recording


    and critical examination of existing and proposed
    ways of doing work as a means of developing and
    applying easier and more effective methods and
    reducing costs.

    Method study.
    (Steps Involved)
    Improvement

    of process and procedures.


    The improvement of work place/shop layout and
    design of tools/equipments.
    Economy in human efforts and reduction of
    unnecessary fatigue.
    Improvement in use of materials, machines and
    manpower.
    Development of better physical working
    environment.

    Work measurement
    Definition: Work measurement is application of
    techniques designed to establish the time for
    qualified worker to carry out specific job at a
    defined level of performance.

    Work measurement
    To

    compare the efficiency of alternative methods,


    other conditions being equal the method, which
    takes least time, will be the best method.
    To balance work of members of team, in
    association with multiple activity charts, so that, as
    nearly as possible, each member has a task taking
    an equal time to perform.
    To determine, in association man and machine
    multiple activity chart.

    Work measurement
    To

    provide information on which planning,


    scheduling of production can be based.
    To provide information on which estimates for
    tenders, selling price and delivery promises can be
    based.
    To set standards of labor performance.
    To provide information for labor cost control and
    to enable standard costs to be fixed and
    maintained.

    Techniques of work
    measurement

    Work sampling.
    Stop watch time study.
    Pre determined time standards.
    Standard data.

    Work sampling

    Definition: Work sampling is method of finding


    the percentage occurrence of certain activity by
    statistical sampling and random observations.

    Deciding sample size:

    Statistical method:
    The formula used for this method is
    P= (p * q / n )1/2
    P= Standard Error
    p= % of idle time.
    q= % of working time.
    n= Sample size.
