Selection of methods used for analyzing the standard time needed to complete the assembly process by means of a fuzzy analytic hierarchy process

Abstract

Abstract. This paper is a review of four main methods of analyzing the standard time needed to complete a given job: chronometric analysis, working-day activity study (working-day photo), work sampling observations, and analysis of basic motions. Thanks to the application of FAHP (Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process) method, the values of weighted coefficients were obtained which describe the importance of selecting the criteria of the choice of methods used to analyze the standard time in the assembly process. In the summary paragraph of this paper, the results of analyzing the criteria are discussed.

Proposal of a System for Estimating the Assembly Time in Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises

“…These methods work with the pre-determined time. It includes mainly methods like MTM [5,6] or MODAPTS (Modular Arrangements of Predetermined Time Standards) [7], which in principle are based on a detailed analysis of the structure of the human movement. On this basis, using pre-determined times for different movements or actions, the total assembly time is calculated.…”
