Solution 1
According to this technique, there must be a standard time limit for completing a task. Based on repeated observations of the time taken to complete a task, a standard limit is set. This helps in deciding the number of employees required to complete a task. For example, if one person can manufacture 1 unit of a commodity in 2 hours, then in an 8-hour working day, each worker can manufacture 4 units of the commodity.
