Work Measurement and Work Sampling Worksheet

What is the best definition of work measurement?

• The application of techniques designed to establish the time for a qualified worker to carry out a specific job at a defined level of performance.

• The sequence of elements which are required to perform a job or yield a unit of production.

• A method of finding the percentage occurrence of a certain activity by statistical sampling and random observations.

• The application of techniques designed to establish the date for a qualified worker to carry out a specific job at a defined level of a performance.

What is the primary goal of work measurement?

• To determine the time required to complete a task at a defined performance level.

• To increase production speed without considering efficiency.

• To increase worker wages.

• To reduce the number of workers required for a task.

What is the best definition of work sampling?

• The sequence of elements which are required to perform a job or yield a unit of production.

• A method of finding the percentage occurrence of a certain activity by statistical sampling and random observations.

• The application of techniques designed to establish the date for a qualified worker to carry out a specific job at a defined level of a performance.

What is the main purpose of work sampling?

• To measure the exact time taken to complete a task.

• To determine the proportion of time spent on different activities.

• To measure worker reaction time.

• Evaluate machine speed.

What does the term allowance factor represent in work measurement?

• A time increment added to account for delays, fatigue, personal needs.

• The amount of time taken for a machine breakdown.

• The efficiency rate of a worker.

• The cause of performing a work measurement study.

Which work measurement technique utilizes pre-established time values for basic human motions to determine task durations?

• Work sampling

• Motion economy study

• Time study

• Predetermined Motion Time System (PMTS)

Which of the following allowances is given to an experienced worker to compensate him for the time he is required to spend instructing a trainee, while both are working on jobs for which standard times have been set?

• Start-up Allowance

• Policy Allowance

• Training Allowance

• Reject Allowance

Which the following allowances is applied to standard time to provide a satisfactory level of earnings for a specific level of performance under expectational circumstances?

• Start-up Allowance

• Policy Allowance

• Training Allowance

• Reject Allowance

What is the term for a time value which is either considerably higher or lower than the mean of the majority of observations taken during a time study?

• Attention Time

• Abnormal Time

• Allowance Time

• Elapsed Time

How is Standard Time derived from Normal Time?

• ST = NT × (1 – Allowance Factor)

• ST = NT × (1 + Allowance Factor)

• ST = NT + Cycle Time

• ST = NT – Allowance Factor
