2. Objectives :
At the end of the activity the students are expected
to:
• Apply the concept of hand and motion economy
as well as the use of therbligs in the study
• Analyze every step in the toy pig assembly
process
• Make an effective data sheet
• Make use of predetermine time standard
5. Procedure:
• Prepare the parts of toy pig to be assembled
• Assign a worker to perform the experiment (the toy pig
assembly)
• Create a workstation that is the best workstation in assembling
the toy pig
• Make a data sheet containing left and right hand chart,
therbligs, including the descriptions of every motion of the
worker and standard time of assembly by using PTSS
• After creating the best workstation and the data sheet, perform
now the experiment (the toy pig assembly)
6. • While the worker performs, make an observation , do the time
study and record the motions of the worker.
• Fill the data sheet with the information gathered.
• Compute the units that a worker can finish on a day(8hrs).
• Publish the results.
8. Theoretical Background
• MTM (Mynard, Stegemerten & Schwab, 1948) gives time values for the
fundamental motions of reach, move, turn, grasp, position, disengage
and release. The author defined MTM as “a procedure which analyzes
any manual operation or method into the basic motion required to
perform it, and assigns to each motion a pre-determined time standard
which is determined by the nature of the motion and the conditions
under which it is made.”
• Provides detailed information of the work elements (Groover,2007)
9. Theoretical Background
• Experience has proved that companies that have developed sound
standards based on measurement are more likely to meet scheduled
delivery dates for their products.
• The use of PTS allows the introduction of up – to – date production
control procedure, with the resulting advantage to customers who get
their merchandise when they want and need it.
• Also, it tends to make any company more time – and – cost conscious;
this usually results in lower selling prices.(Freivalds, et.al)
10. Theoretical background
• In measuring the time standard, you must take the step-by-step
procedure.
1. Select the job to study
2. Collect information about the job
3. Divide the job into elements
4. Do the actual time study
5. Extend the time study
6. Determine the number of cycles to be timed
7. Rate, level and normalize the operator’s performance
8. Apply allowances

22. Analysis: STRENGHTS
• Principle 1: The two hands should begin as well
as complete their motions at the same time.
• Principle 2: The two hand should not be idle at
the same time except during rest periods.
Both hands were able to balance the motions
where it also able to complete the assembly of
the two toy pigs
23. • PRINCIPLE 3: Motion of the arms should be made in opposite
and symmetrical directions and should be made
simultaneously.
The two hands were able to complete the task and its use
were made effectively. It can be seen from the simo chart that
the hands were functioning and the task are balanced.
24. • PRINCIPLE 8: Work should be arranged to permit easy and
natural rhythm wherever possible.
• PRINCIPLE 9: Eye fixations should be as few and as close
together as possible.
The work of the worker permits easy and natural rhythm because the
arrangement of the parts were made according to the distribution of the
task for the hands. The parts were located in away that the operator can
reach without stretching or causing so much effort in assembling the toy
pig. With these the eye fixations are made few.
25. • Principle 10: There should be a definite and fixed place
for all tools and materials.
• Principle 11: Tool, materials, and controls should be
located close to the point of use.
The materials used in assembling the toy ship are readily
available for the worker’s reach. The distances were
made according to the anthropometric measurements or
capability of the operator to reach and work.
26. • Principle 16: The height of the workplace and the chair should
preferably be arranged so that the alternate sitting and standing
are easily possible.
The chair and the working table were provided in a way that
the worker is comfortable to use it. The height does not
permit the operator to work in a restricted motions.
27. • Principle 18: The hands should relieved of all work that
can be done more advantageously by a jig, a fixture, or a
foot - operated device.
• The jigs were provided not only to make the operator
work effectively but as well to finish the two toy pigs at
the same time. As well, the jigs would not affect the
quality of the output.

29. Conclusion
Predetermined time standard system is used to establish time standard in completing a
certain job or any given process. Advantages includes no disruption of the operation during
the study and the standards can be established. They are not too difficult to apply and can
be less time consuming than other methods when time standards are determined. They are
particularly useful for very short repetitive time cycles such as assembly work in the toy
industry. Establishing time standard may help the company identify the part of assembly
that needs improvement. This will also help the company maximize the time of each worker
working on a certain assembly thus improving the productivity that will increase the profit
of the company.
