Standard Allowed Time is computed from Live Time Study or Standard Data Analysis (SPD)
Standard Allowed Minutes (SAMs) is calculated as follows:
Total Raw Cycle Time / # valid Operation Cycles = Average Time (minutes)
Average Time x Leveling Factor = Normal Time (minutes)
Normal Time + P. F. & D. = Standard Allowed Time (minutes)
Cycle time is the time it takes for one complete unit for that operation
Operation cycles are valid if their value is within 1 standard deviation of the Average Time.
Leveling Factor is determined by the engineer for the worker being observed (not calculated when using Standard Data Analysis
P. F. & D. is Personal Fatigue and Delay a percentage added to compensate for normal working conditions and the specific operation. Personal is typical at 5% added to the Normal Time.
