    Group Sampling Techniques: Example - Three Workers Each Producing The Same Parts by A Process That Involves Only Hand

    Group sampling techniques are used to measure the work of groups of workers. They involve observing workers at short, fixed time intervals to classify their activities as working or not working. While similar to time studies, group sampling can observe multiple workers simultaneously. An example shows three workers making parts rated at half-minute intervals over 250 minutes. Their average rating of working was 87%, equivalent to 596 minutes of basic work to make 62 parts in 9.6 minutes each.

    Group Sampling Techniques

    1. Designed for the measurement of work carried out by groups of workers.


    2. Also Known as High Frequency Sampling since, when used for the measurement of short-
    cycle work, they use fixed short-time intervals with the observer in constant attendance.
    3. Very Similar to Time study but have the advantage that the observer can cover the work of
    the group
    4. Group sampling techniques may make use of rating.

    Example - Three workers each producing the same parts by a process that involves only hand
    tools. The sampling is carried out at 0.5minute intervals and involves the categories of "working"
    and "not working" only.

    •Total time of observation = 250 min
    •No. of observations on each operator = 500 min
    •Total number of observations —working = 1,370 min
    • — not working = 130min
    •Average rating for the three workers = 87% (based on a 100% standard performance)
    •Total number of parts produced = 62
    •Then, total working time =1,370 x 0.5 = 685 min
    •Conversion to basic time = (685 x 87)/100 = 596 basic min
    •Basic min. per part = 596/62 = 9.6 min
    •If rating is not taken into consideration, then group sampling results would be = 685/62 =
    11.04 min
