In industrial engineering, the standard time is the time required by an average skilled operator, working at a normal pace, to perform a specified task using a prescribed method.[1] It includes appropriate allowances to allow the person to recover from fatigue and, where necessary, an additional allowance to cover contingent elements which may occur but have not been observed.
Usage of the standard time
Time times for all operations are known.
- Staffing (or workforce planning): the number of workers required cannot accurately be determined unless the time required to process the existing work is known.
- Line balancing (or production leveling): the correct number of workstations for optimum work flow depends on the processing time, or standard, at each workstation.
- Materials requirement planning (MRP): MRP systems cannot operate properly without accurate work standards.
- System simulation: simulation models cannot accurately simulate operation unless times for all operations are known.
- Wage payment: comparing expected performance with actual performance requires the use of work standards.
- Cost accounting: work standards are necessary for determining not only the labor component of costs, but also the correct allocation of production costs to specific products.
- Employee evaluation: in order to assess whether individual employees are performing as well as they should, a performance standard is necessary against which to measure the level of performance.
Techniques to establish a standard time
The standard time can be determined using the following techniques:[2]
- Time study,
- Predetermined motion time system aka PMTS or PTS,
- Standard data system,
- Work sampling.
Method of calculation
The Standard Time is the product of three factors:
- Observed time: The time measured to complete the task.
- Performance rating factor: The pace the person is working at. 90% is working slower than normal, 110% is working faster than normal, 100% is normal. This factor is calculated by an experienced worker who is trained to observe and determine the rating.
- Personal, fatigue, and delay (PFD) allowance.
The standard time can then be calculated by using:[3]

Picking the right hosting service is very important. The last thing you want to do is get a website published with a hosting service (after learning to use that hosting service), and afterwards be disappointed with the service and have to mess around with transferring your site to another hosting service.
I'm a happy HostGator customer. I utilize both HostGator and Bluehost.
I'll start with among the most crucial considerations: Cost
HostGator has several prices plans. They are as follows (since the date this short article was released):.
Hatchling Strategy: as reduced as $4.95 per month with a 3 year dedication. On this strategy you can host one website.
Child Plan: as low as $7.95 per month with a 3 year commitment. On this plan you can host an unlimited variety of sites.
Company Plan: as reduced as $12.95 per month with 3 year dedication.
You do not need to commit for 3 years. However, with shorter term dedications, you'll pay slightly even more per month.
You can likewise get your own devoted server if this is something you like to have.
Endless number of internet sites.
I would not think about a hosting service that didn't let me host a limitless number of internet sites for one month-to-month price under $10. I have a number of sites and I such as the adaptability of having the ability to build even more websites at no additional expense (other than for signing up the domain).
If you select the Infant Plan (this is the plan I have) or Company Strategy, you can host as numerous websites on as numerous domain names as you like. This is where using a hosting service like HostGator can save you a lot of cash in the long run against utilizing a website contractor or having a website designer host your websites. When you use a website builder or have a website designer host your website, you'll usually pay additional for each added site (or each extra set of websites).
The disadvantage of course, is you should handle your very own hosting. Luckily, this isn't challenging with the simple CPanel and technical support.
Domain registration.
You can quickly register domain names with HostGator. Absolutely nothing might be worse than constructing a great website and then to lose it all because you forgot to renew your domain name. It's possible then that someone else registers your domain name and you cannot get it again.
All HostGator prepares offer unlimited bandwidth.
This is great and you need to require this with any website hosting service. I would not think about using a hosting service that didn't provide unlimited bandwidth.
User friendly CPanel Dash panel.
You manage your internet sites with HostGator in a control panel described as a CPanel. The CPanel is a simple user interface to handle your websites and domains.
Easy website setup.
I specifically require with any hosting service that I utilize can install WordPress with pretty much a single click or a series of easy clicks. Should you have almost any concerns regarding exactly where along with tips on how to utilize Cheap Hosting from Hostgator, you are able to call us from our site. HostGator offers Fantastico De Luxe and QuickInstall options for quickly installing WordPress and many other scripts to develop your website (i.e. Joomla and others).
Access to 4,500 website design templates.
For any internet designer, this is substantial. This is a terrific means to develop websites inexpensively for clients. You can check out these design templates for yourself on the HostGator internet site without having to sign up.
Free website builders.
With an account, you can easily construct a website with one of two website builders you get access to. The 2 website contractors are:.
Trendy Site Contractor, and.
Website Studio website home builder.
Note, you can only use the website contractors for one internet site on your account. What this indicates is if you get an account where you can host limitless domains, you can just develop one website with a website builder.
E-mail accounts.
You get limitless POP3 e-mail accounts with SMTP. Having e-mail accounts on your customized domain is more professional than a gmail or hotmail e-mail account.
45 day cash back guarantee.
You can get your refund if you cancel your account within 45 days if HostGator isn't really for you.
Video tutorials.
HostGator provides you access to many video tutorials that step you with numerous processes.
Consumer support.
The operators for technical support know a lot about working in HostGator. If you have a concern about personalizing a WordPress style, HostGator won't assist you (I found this to be the case with Bluehost.
1 Objection of HostGator.
I had to call HostGator to verify my account upon opening it. This didn't take long, however it was an extra step. I would have chosen just to sign up and start without needing to call them for confirmation.
