Conference overview

Work measurement is performed to develop the standard time to perform operations. Time standards have traditionally been defined as the time required by a typical operator, working at a normal pace, to perform a specified task using a prescribed method, with time for personal needs, fatigue, and delay allowed. Time standards, work standards, or just standards, are critical pieces of management information that apply to all kinds of work including manufacturing, assembly, and clerical.

Associates, consultants, coordinators, directors, engineers, managers, professors, and technicians working in advisory services, continuous improvement, engineering (i.e., assembly, industrial, manufacturing, process, retail, staff, systems, standards), lean, logistics, manufacturing, operations, process, products, projects, quality, and Six Sigma fields, should attend.
