Fwd: Lost Time

Lost time is the time an operator loses which is outside of his/her control. This time will affect the efficiency of an operator unless it is taken into consideration.

Categories of lost time are:

·         Waiting for work

·         Machine trouble

·         Doing the other person's repairs

·         Doing samples

·         Power failures

·         Meetings etc.

Since the above points cannot be controlled by the operator, the time spent is subtracted from the attended minutes of the operator when calculating the daily efficiency.

For example:

If no lost time occurred operator efficiency is calculated as,

If, however the operator had 

waited for work for            = 30 min

Done sample for              = 40 min

Machine trouble for       = 30 min

  Total                      = 100 min

The calculation would now be worked as

The lost time is calculated to find out the exact efficiency obtained to the operator. 

Fwd: Allowances

Allowances are the extra time added to each basic time to derive standard time from it. There are two kinds of allowances in use:

1. The company sets their own allowance with respect to the national standards, and
   
2.  Some company follows the national standards only.
   

 

Reason for adding allowances to the basic time

• When a worker works for a long duration, there is no consistency in her pace. Also she requires some attention to personal needs, time is required for fixing needle in case of needle breakage, rethreading the needle in case of thread breakage, time lapsed due to machine breakdown, etc.
  
• The standard time is arrived at by adding up some allowances to the basic time. This will be a correct measure to set daily targets which are more practical or reliable.
  

 

While deciding the quantum of allowance to be added to the normal time, following types of allowances are considered.

 

Sl. No	Condition	Rate	Details & Response
1	Personal and Fatigue	Sitting-11% Standing-13%	Toilets, drinking water, scratch, nose blowing, etc. for their personal fatigue
2	Machine Allowance	5% to 8%	S/N Chain stitch                                   5% Button sew Chain stitch                   5% S/N Lockstitch                      5% B/H Lockstitch                      5% Multi needle Chain stitch                 6% Over lock                                6% Bar tack                                                   6% Safety stitch                          8% T/N Lockstitch                      8%
3	Contingency Allowance	3%	Supervisory recording , quality information etc.
4	Special Allowance	Vary according to physical condition of the industry	Periodic activity – bundling, bobbin change etc. Machine interference allowance- more m/c s Short run – periodic changes in fabric, threads Policy allowance – to line up standard – may vary from line to line

Not sure where your Hub fits? Check the Topic Tree. The Importance of Categorizing Your Hubs Correctly Keep HubPages Organized With the recent move back to the HubPages.com domain, it is more important than ever that you accurately and carefully choose a good topic to categorize each Hub under. Why does it matter? Since Hubs are all on the HubPages domain now, keeping Hubs in the correct topics ensures that they show up in search results with the correct category listed below the title, which makes readers more likely to click. It also helps Google recognize and know what our Topic Pages are about. How can I choose the right Topic? There two ways to ensure that your Hub is placed in the best category possible. First, when you create a new Hub, make sure you use the Hub Topic tool to select the most appropriate category; you can either browse topics with the tool or search using related keywords. You can also browse the Topic Tree to see which categories might be best for new or existing Hubs. Christy Kirwan Marketing & Community Manager

For example, if you see a Hub on video game techniques listed under Bridal Fashion, please flag the Hub using the report button, choose the "Deceptive or Miscategorized" option, and then help us out by entering the correct Topic from the drop-down menu (Games, Toys, and Hobbies> Computer & Video Games, in this case). Your help means a lot to our mods. Thanks to those of you already doing this! You can take a closer look at all of our topics with the Topic Tree: http://hubpages.com/topics/tree
