The measurement of efficiency and utilization will be established by setting labor standards at every factory on all production operations. Direct labor times will be determined for all products FPI manufactures using scientific measurement techniques. Complete and accurate records documenting the development of production standards will be maintained. Factory capacity will be established based on the analysis of objective and quantitative data. Work measurement is defined as the process of determining a standard time for performance of a task using industrial engineering techniques.
Standardization is very important and is used to make manufacturing management decisions.
Factories shall maintain a product file that contains all work measurement information for products manufactured at the site. Item Standard Routings. Work center equipment lists with setup times. Each file shall contain a summary sheet documenting the total direct labor time required for each operation. Factories using SFC will include the indented Bill of Materials.
