Pitch Time in Industrial Engineering: Let us assume that a shirt has 1,000 sec of standard time. It has 50 operations which have been divided among 40 operators. An operator may be allotted one or more operations. Time allotted to individual operator is called Pitch Time. Here each operator on average is allotted 1000/40-25 seconds…
Bottleneck Processes and Bottleneck Time in Industrial Engineering: The highest time taken by an operator to complete her task compared to other operators is referred to as bottleneck time. The process or processes associated with bottleneck time are called bottleneck process. Bottlenecks reduce productivity. The figure given below shows three bottlenecks, two above UCL, and…
Work Measurement in Apparel Manufacturing Sector: Work measurement is the technique designed to set up time required by a qualified worker to accomplish a task at a defined rate of working. This technique is used to determine standard time in readymade garment manufacturing industry. Productivity as a whole depends upon how quickly a job can…
What is Rating in Industrial Engineering? Different workers perform their job with different efficiencies. Some workers are clever; they learn their job quickly and attain a very high efficiency. Some others may be mediocre and many others may be lenient to learn or may be dull. Thus workers widely vary in their performance. Thus rating…

Standard Time in Industrial Engineering: Standard time of an operator is the time which a qualified operator should take to accomplish it if the she works at standard performance (at the rating of 100) and provided she takes extra time allowed to her as allowance. If time is counted in second it is called standard…
Allowance Time in Garments Industry: A worker cannot and does not work continuously throughout her full working hours in apparel manufacturing industry. She has to open a bundle, tie it up, go to lavatory, take out bobbin case, replace a blunt needle, talk to the supervisor or line inspector, a small rest to recover from…
