I'm getting ready to set production standards for some machines and was looking for a little reminder.
I've done the time study on the machine and let's say when running it can produce 100 parts per minute.
Do I leave allowances (other than known breaks when the machine will not be running)? If so, what's typical?
Also, I can time the machine running at 100 parts per minute, but I'm told that when the machine is run slower (for example at 85 parts per minute) there is less downtime. Any ideas on how to calculate this or capture this information?
