y The random samples the work of one or moreemployees are periodic interval to determine theproportion of total operations that is accounted for in
a particular activity.y It used for resource utilization .
y It used to check the time spent by worker in a job.
y It used to avoidable delays.

y To estimate the percentage of a protracted time periodconsumed by various activity states of a resourcesuch as equipment, machines or operators.
y To determine the allowances for inclusion in standardtimes.
y To indicate the nature of the distribution of work
activities within a gang operation.
y To estimate the percentage of utilization of groups of similar machines or equipment.

y To indicate how materials handling equipments areMing used.
y To provide a basis for indirect labor time standards.
y To determine the productive and non-productiveutilization of clerical operations.
y To determine the standard time for a repetitiveoperation as an alternative to the stop

y The works study engineer takes a great number of observation of a worker / machine random timesthroughout the working shift or day
y The technique is based upon the laws of probability
y P= X = No of observations of the activity
N Total no of observations

y Determine the objective of the study, including definitions
of the states of activity to be observed.
y Plan the sampling procedure including:
a)An estimate of the percentage of time being devotedto each phase of the activity.
b)The setting of accuracy limits.c)An estimation of the number of observations required .
d)The selection of the length of the study period and theprogramming of the number of readings over this
period.

e)The establishment of the mechanics of making theobservations, the route to follow and the recording
of data.
y Collect the data as planned.y Process the data and present the results.

y N=C2 P(1-P) Or C2 P(1-P) Or C2 PQ(SP)2 E2 E2
Where
P -> Percentage or true proportion of activity or idling which is being observed based on pilot study
S -> Relative error of the true proportion PC -> Constant values 1, 2 & 3 corresponding level of 68.3%, 95% and 99% respectively .

Economical to use and Usually costs considerably lessthan a continuous time study
Can be used to measure many activities that ar
impractical to measure by time study Not necessary to use a trained work measurement
analyst to make the observations.
Work sampling measurements may be made with a
pre- assigned degree of reliability. Measures the utilization of people and equipment
directly.

Eliminates the necessity of using stop-watch formeasurements.
Provides observation over a sufficiently long period of
time to decrease the chance of day to day variationaffecting the results.

y It is of little value in helping to improve work methodsand does not offer some of the opportunities formethods analysis that accompanies time study
methods.y Statistical work sampling may not be understood by
workers .
y If random sampling is not done, the results may be
biased.
