What are Time Standards?
To be able to better plan, monitor, compare, control and therefore influence every aspect of your business, you need accurate and reliable information – you need time standards.
Meaningful time standards are the backbone of industry, across all business sectors.
Time standards are central to
- costing
- capacities
- planning
- manning
- estimating
- targeting
- justifying investment
- creating flow
Time standards allow you to assess work content to compare the viability of different mixes of work and their impact on performance, capacity and profitability.
A time standard is the formal work content of a defined task or activity usually measured in Standard Minutes.
Always ensure your time standards accurately reflect relevant work content. When they are used correctly, they will help to streamline operations, create efficiencies and improve performance, processes and productivity.
