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.
