The export demand for Electoric Control Unit (ECU) products, which continued to increase by approximately 25% in December 2014, made the company have to review its production capacity. Based on current production capacity data, it is known that the process cycle time is 64.9 seconds while the takt time needed to meet consumer demand is 39.4 seconds for the first production line. With working time included in working hours overtime, this first-line capacity cannot meet production demands. Work measurement is done to get actual time data for capacity calculation. Man machine chart is one of the tools used to determine the production line capacity with the current number of machines and workers. To be able to fulfill the production demand, a capacity design with 2 proposed improvements is carried out, namely: adding a working time of one shift for the first production line or balancing work time between lines. By calculating the results obtained and the costs incurred, the proposal for balancing work time between lines becomes more effective to do.

Australian organizations are extending the 8-hour shift in response to market demands. The aim of this study was to quantify the impact of working time arrangements on employees who work shiftwork. A survey was developed to investigate preferred work and non-work time and to determine the potential impact of two rosters (mining and transport). A total of 256 shiftworkers working either 8-or 12-hour shifts were matched on age, gender, marital and parenting status. Both groups placed higher value on work time during the day, Monday to Friday and preferred weekend work to night work. Furthermore, the two imposed rosters suggest that the benefits cited concerning 12-hour rosters and social time are more a reduction in the loss of preferred time than an absolute gain.

The article analyzes the legal regulation of overtime and night work time in Uzbekistan and foreign countries in terms of establishing certain restrictions and payment in an increased amount compared to work in normal conditions, as well as providing additional rest time, since, according to legislators, economists, sociologists and doctors, such types of work negatively affect the health of the worker or lead to an imbalance in his family or social life. The scientific publication analyzes the problems of establishing overtime and night work time. Based on the analysis of the current legislation in the sphere of labor, the author formulates the criteria that allow distinguishing between these types of working time.

Abstract The article is a case study of the use of snapshot observation to analyse the factors causing time losses at selected laser burner stations, and to propose changes that will increase the effective utilization of working time. The purpose of this paper is to determine the best and worst utilization of working time at the examined workplaces, analyse the amount of time lost and identify the causes of losses, and propose solutions that will improve the utilization of working time. According to the snapshot observation, procedure 2 main - work and non-work - time fractions and 10 detailed time fractions in the working day were distinguished, and their percentage share for the analysed workstations was calculated. Analyses of the working day time utilization depending on the type of machines, days of observation, single shifts were done and selected results were averaged. The paper indicates that organizational and technical aspects, as well as the employees’ faults, were the main reasons for time losses. Research has shown that the generally examined group of workstations was characterized by a high utilization level of working time. An unfavourable phenomenon was the ratio of the main time to the auxiliary time, the high share of the maintenance time fraction of the workstations, and incorrect organization of the interoperation transport, low workers motivation, rush, and routine. It was found that further improvement of work efficiency and reduce time losses requires paying attention to the optimization of employees’ working conditions, training, motivation systems, and implementation of lean concept tools and MES/CMMS solutions into production.

The spectrum of employment-related geographical mobility ranges from hours-long daily commutes to journeys that take workers away from home for an extended period of time. Although distance and travel conditions vary, there is a strong consensus within existing literature that mobility has physical, psychological, and social repercussions. However, is time spent traveling considered as working time? This question is crucial as it dictates whether or not workers can effectively access different sets of labor rights. The objective of this paper is twofold. First, contributing to a deeper understanding of travel time by offering a more sustained and complex representation of the various employment-related travel schemes. Second, assessing the circumstances under which travel time counts as work time with regard to the employment standards legislation in force in four Canadian provinces: Quebec, Ontario, Alberta, and British Colombia.

Transformer 3 of Pesanggaran Substation obtains additional power plants with a maximum power of 60 MW. Power generation is used to supply the load of feeders in Substation of Pesanggaran and also channeled to 150 kV transmission system at Substation of Pesanggaran through Transformator 3 to Substation of Nusa Dua to assist power supply at Nusa Dua Substation. If there is a feeders interruption in the Substation of Pesanggaran which causes the load of feeders to be disconnected, then the power from the generator that is flowed to the 150 kV system increases. Thus the Transformer 3 works heavier, resulting in the current and temperature of the transformer also increased. Increased temperatures in the transformer for long periods can result in damage and reduced lifetime of the transformer. From the problems then calculation of current and working time OGS and OCR as the Transformer 3 safety system. The result of calculation of OGS setting of phase1 is 1600 A with setting work time of 2 seconds, phase 2 is 1700 A with setting working time of 1,5 seconds and stage 3 of 1800 A with setting work time of 1 second. The OGS relay characteristic is definite. For OCR at 150 kV side, the current setting is 277 A and setting time is 1.36 seconds, while OCR setting at 20 kV side is obtained by setting current of 2078.4 A and setting time of 1.18 seconds with OCR Relay characteristic used is inverse.

ABSTRACTThe purpose of this study was to determine the workers planning work measurement, to determine the productivity of the workers, and to determine the measurement of work in improving the productivity of workers. The method used is a case study and one of measurement method used is a work time study. Results and discussion of this research is a discrepancy between theory and phenomena that occur in the company, that there are some workers who use idle time and personal time more than 20% (96 minutes) of total working time. Lack supervision on the discipline of working time and standard time greatly affect the productivity levels of workers. With the use of a good standard time, labor productivity increased as indicated by the number of units produced of two workers from 11 units to 14 units.Keyword: Measurement of work, time standards and work productivity standards
