 Standard time (manufacturing)

Standard time in manufacturing refers to the predetermined amount of time required to complete a specific task or operation under normal working conditions. It serves as a benchmark for measuring productivity, scheduling work, and estimating costs. Standard time accounts for: 1. **Basic Time**: The actual time taken to perform a task without interruptions. 2. ** allowances**: Additional time added for rest, delays, and other factors that may hinder continuous work, such as machine breakdowns or personal interruptions.
