Mr. Yash started a pen manufacturing unit. On the basis of several observations, it is determined that standard time taken by the worker to make a pen is 10 minutes. So the standard production of 6 pens was determined per hour for a worker. Identify which of the following type of study helped Yash to arrive at standard production per hour.

Time Study

The correct answer is option (2) : Time Study

The study that helped Yash to arrive at standard production per hour is time study.

TIME STUDY determines the standard time taken to perform a well-defined job. Time measuring devices are used for each element of task. The standard time is fixed for the whole of the task by taking several readings. The method of time study will depend upon the volume and frequency of the task, the cycle time of the operation and time measurement costs. The objective of the time study is to determine the number of workers to be employed; frame suitable incentive schemes and determine labour costs.
