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 occur but have not been observed.
The standard time can be determined using the following techniques:[2] The Standard Time is the product of three factors: The standard time can then be calculated by using:[3]
{\displaystyle {\text{Standard Time}}=({\text{Observed Time}})({\text{Rating Factor}})(1+{\text{PFD Allowance}})}
