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.

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

One of the factors that influence the working time structure in sowing crops with different aggregates is the utilization of working time. The study dealt with two seed drills for precise and two seed drills for fused sowing. The shift time utilization coefficient in the types of seed drills was determined, which is within the admissible limit: the SZU-3,6 τ=0.86; for the Horsch Pronto 6 DC τ=0.88 for Gaspardo SP-8 τ=0.92 and for the Kurt PM-8 seed driller τ=0.85. It has been established that the field length, its shape and the method of loading the seed drills have an impact on the working time structure when sowing crops with different aggregates. It has been established that in order to exploit the technical capabilities of the sowing aggregate and to achieve higher productivity and good economic performance of the sowing technological operation, the field length of the cultivated area under 600 m is economically inexpedient.

This study was structured with the aim to determine the effect of changing the brake cylinder from 10 inches to 12 inches in the Open Carriage, because this Open Carriage is the only car that has two different brake cylinders from the other Carriage. The study was conducted by calculating the percentage of braking on the use of 10-inch and 12-inch type brake cylinders on the Open Carriage used at Balai Yasa Surabaya Gubeng. Calculate the working time and release time on the brake cylinder with a size of 10 inches and 12 inches of pressure 0.4 to 3.8 kg / cm2. Calculates the braking distance assuming the type of locomotive and the number of carriages drawn are the same. The study produced work time and release time that varied results, namely faster work time on BC 12 inch and faster release time on BC 10 inch. The results of the braking percentage that has been obtained from calculations with the standard braking percentage is 40% <l £ 120%. From the standard determined according to UIC, the use of a 10 inch brake cylinder does not meet the requirements of the braking percentage calculation when the load is full, and for a 12 inch brake cylinder can meet the specified requirements. The results of the percentage of brake block pressure that has been obtained from calculations with the standard braking percentage is 30% <þ 85%. From the standard determined according to UIC, the use of a 10 inch brake cylinder does not meet the requirements in the calculation of the percentage of the full charge brake block pressure, while for a 12 inch brake cylinder it meets. The braking distance obtained from the calculated simulation results with predetermined factors results in the braking distance for BC 12 inch being closer than that using 10 inch BC. To improve the results of this study it is necessary to test the brake cylinder components dynamically.

Performance has an important position in management and organization. One dimension in the performance benchmark is the use of time in work. The work time of the nurse is the pattern of working time utilization for the nursing activity in accordance with the main task and its function in accordance with the job description that is 80 percent. The purpose of this study is to describe the productivity of the nurses working time in the hospital. The method in this reseach is qualitative approach which conducted by observation participation to create a description of the working time usage. Data collection techniques use observation sheets and interview guides and document tracking. In this research, there are 6 informants namely Head of Nursing, Nursing Coordinator and 4 nurses. Data analysis using triangulation. Result, The forms of nurse activity consist of: productive nursing (direct and indirect), personal and non-productive activities. Show that the use of productive work time of nurse is 42,4 percent (that is direct activity 19,6 percent and indirect nursing activity 22,8 percent) and non productive 57,6 percent. Conclusion the productivity of nurse work time is not optimal and more dominated by non productive activities such as: talking outside the main task, watching TV, using gadgets or outdoors for other activities.

In the past decade, several dedicated tools have been developed to help natural resources professionals integrate climate science into their planning and implementation; however, it is unclear how often these tools lead to on-the-ground climate adaptation. Here, we describe a training approach that we developed to help managers effectively plan to execute intentional, climate-informed actions. This training approach was developed through the Climate Change Response Framework (CCRF) and uses active and focused work time and peer-to-peer interaction to overcome observed barriers to using adaptation planning tools. We evaluate the effectiveness of this approach by examining participant evaluations and outlining the progress of natural resources projects that have participated in our trainings. We outline a case study that describes how this training approach can lead to place and context-based climate-informed action. Finally, we describe best practices based on our experience for engaging natural resources professionals and helping them increase their comfort with climate-informed planning.
