Techniques of Work Measurement and Their Applications

Techniques of Work Measurement and Their Applications Work measurement (WM) Work measurement  is the application of techniques designed to establish the time for a qualified worker to carry out specified jobs at a defined level of performance.  Work measurement (WM) is concerned with investigating, reducing and eliminating ineffective time, whatever may be the cause.  WM is the means of measuring the time taken in the performance of an operation or series of operations in such a way that the ineffective time is shown up and can be separated out.  Work measurement is also called by the name ‘ time study ’. Work measurement is absolutely  essential for both the planning and control of operations. Without measurement data, we cannot  determine the capacity of facilities or it is not possible to quote delivery dates or costs. We  are not in a position to determine the rate of production and also  labor utilization  and efficiency.  It may not be possible to introduce incent
