Five-minute rating method is most commonly applied in assessing productivity in construction Industry. Will we find useful data if we use five-minute rating method to analyze the employee workload in a random inspection process of a continuous manufacturing line? or is there a better method to perform this task?
I think that would be a good method. You also have to take into account the type of job that you are going to investigate. In other words if it is a "chain work could be a good method to measure productivity because in 5 minutes is enough. However if it is another type of work you will have to take into account the time it takes to reach a minimum of productivity. I hope it could be helpful.
Hi Ruben,
Yes true that we have to consider the type of operation that we are going to measure. If the inspection process takes about small time periods lesser than 1min, can we go for a3 minutes and increase the number of trials we consider?
