P, F, and D determination

P, F, and D determination

P, F, and D determination

(OP)
I recently began work at a company that is requiring me to time study and document new assembly lines that are being implemented.  I have no trouble with that particular procedure, however, when it comes to determining the personal, delay, and fatigue factors, I have some worries as to wether or not I am allotting enough (or too much) allowance in those fields, I would appreciate advice from anyone with information regarding those calculations.

Thanks!!

M. Mokri:  

My facility manufactures high end cooking appliances for residential use.  Our assembly lines are not traditional assemblies lines but more like assembly cells....

We are implementing a JIT/Pull system of manufacturing and  believe in having operators "flex" to other areas when work cells are beginning to bottleneck.

I do have some information of P,F, and D calculations but "borrowed" it from a colleague working at another company.  The allowances I have were determined and agreed upon by management and the union at my colleague's company.

I am interested in obtaining more general information to set up our system here...

Thank you.
