  2. 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 ...

  3. Unit of time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_of_time

    The amount of time light takes to travel one Planck length. quectosecond: 10 −30 s: One nonillionth of a second. rontosecond: 10 −27 s: One octillionth of a second. yoctosecond: 10 −24 s: One septillionth of a second. jiffy (physics) 3 × 10 −24 s: The amount of time light takes to travel one fermi (about the size of a nucleon) in a ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Rendering_math

    The default sans-serif may render certain characters indistinguishable, such as 1, I and l. In articles mixing raw wiki with <math> formulae, the appearance of the same variable in the two types of formula does not match (serif vs sans-serif). {} ('texhtml' class) Distinguishes a formula from the running text.

  5. Metric time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_time

    Metric time is the measure of time intervals using the metric system. The modern SI system defines the second as the base unit of time, and forms multiples and submultiples with metric prefixes such as kiloseconds and milliseconds. Other units of time – minute, hour, and day – are accepted for use with SI, but are not part of it

  6. 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 ...

    Verification of the binary digits: 64 hours (Bellard formula), 66 hours (BBP formula) Verification of the binary digits were done simultaneously on two separate computers during the main computation. Both computed 32 hexadecimal digits ending with the 4,152,410,118,610th. [51] 90 days 5,000,000,000,000 = 5 × 10 12: 17 October 2011 Shigeru ...

  8. Utilization rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utilization_rate

    For example, if 32 hours of billable time are recorded in a fixed 40-hour week, the utilization rate would then be 32 / 40 = 80%. Note that with this second method it is possible to have a utilization rate that exceeds 100%. If 50 hours of billable time are recorded in a fixed 40-hour week, then the utilization rate would be 50 / 40 = 125%.

  9. 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 ...
