Industrial Engineering Standards
(OP)
Hello Everyone,
I am looking for a website like ISO etc. which will give me a documented procedure of how to come up with Engineering standards on the Floor. Is there a website or a guideline online any one of you know which i can use to create production standards in my company? I work in a pharmaceutical company and we make vials . We normally go by Best demonstrated performance. Is there another way of coming up with standards like considering a fudge factor , taking some other times into consideration eg. Downtime etc..
Please let me know the same
Thanks in advance.

An example is say you set a standard of 1 hour and even with your best person and standard process the best that can be done is 1 hour 10 minutes you can surmise the standard is wrong. Now you have a choice adjust the standard or set your performance level at the lower percentage. As long as you are consistent and management understands the situation everything is fine. Most likely someone will say 100% is the acceptable performance level which cannot be attained then reset your standard. If this is the case the standard should not be 1 hour 10 minutes because you best person is the only one who can perform at that level the standard should be set at the average performance level.
I also want to say time standards and effeciency is not the goal of production. The goal of production is to produce the product at the least cost and least waste. At the end of the year the profitability of a company is measured by sales income minus cost of goods sold. I don't see standard cost in this equation and I have never had a customer pay me for a good time standard. Too many people are hung up on effeciency and productivity and lose sight of profitability.

Say I have a machine which can produce 100 widgets per hour and I find a way to produce 120 widgets per hour. I am doing 120%. Say I only use 50 widgets per hour so I have to store the over production, handle the part multiple times, carry the inventory and use up space storing the inventory. I can be really efficient but lose profit through other wastes. Productivity can also do the same thing if there is waste in the system. Some wastes are necessary but minimizing waste/non-value activity is the best approach.
