3.1 The productivity of machine is measured in which one of the following options?
Predetermined motion time systems (PMTS)” is an indirect work measurement technique used to determine how much time a job or parts of a job should take to complete at a defined level of performance. It involves adding up element times obtained previously from time studies of other jobs containing the elements concerned, or from synthetic data.
Labour control involves the studying and recording of work activities and employee performance with the aim to determine fair wages.
When groups of workers are employed in a wide range of activities, for example in general stores, warehouses and canteens, and where measurement by conventional techniques is uneconomical, rated activity sampling can be used successfully to establish the standard time it takes to complete a task.
