  2. Man-hour - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man-hour

    A man-hour or human-hour is the amount of work performed by the average worker in one hour. [1] [2] It is used for estimation of the total amount of uninterrupted labor required to perform a task. For example, researching and writing a college paper might require eighty man-hours, while preparing a family banquet from scratch might require ten ...

  3. Standard time (manufacturing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_time_(manufacturing)

    In industrial engineering, the standard time is the time required by an average skilled operator, working at a normal pace, to perform a specified task using a prescribed method. [1] It includes appropriate allowances to allow the person to recover from fatigue and, where necessary, an additional allowance to cover contingent elements which may ...

  4. Utilization rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utilization_rate

    Looked at simply, there are two methods to calculate the utilization rate. The first method calculates the number of billable hours divided by the number of hours recorded in a particular time period. For example, if 40 hours of time is recorded in a week but only 30 hours of that was billable, the utilization rate would then be 30 / 40 = 75%.

  5. Standard time in manufacturing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_time_in_manufacturing

    Standard time is the amount of time that should be allowed for an average worker to process one work unit using the standard method and working at a normal pace. The standard time includes some additional time, called the contingency allowance, to provide for the worker's personal needs, fatigue, and unavoidable delays during the shift.

  6. Equation of time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equation_of_time

    The equation of time is obtained by substituting the result of the right ascension calculation into an equation of time formula. Here Δ t ( M ) = M + λ p − α [ λ ( M )] is used; in part because small corrections (of the order of 1 second), that would justify using E , are not included, and in part because the goal is to obtain a simple ...

  7. K factor (traffic engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K_factor_(traffic_engineering)

    The K Factor also helps calculate the peak-to-daily ratio of traffic. K30 helps maintain a healthy volume to capacity ratio. [3] K50 and K100 will sometimes be seen. K50 and K100 will not use the 30th highest hourly traffic volumes but the 50th or 100th highest hourly traffic volume when calculating the K factor.

    The normal distribution is NOT assumed nor required in the calculation of control limits. Thus making the IndX/mR chart a very robust tool. Thus making the IndX/mR chart a very robust tool. This is demonstrated by Wheeler using real-world data [ 4 ] , [ 5 ] and for a number of highly non-normal probability distributions.
