Comparing and estimating
Comparing and estimating
Method of work data determination
Can lead to sufficiently accurate results when other, more
precise values are not available, e.g. in work situations where
the application of the time recording or other data acquisition
methods is too costly or impossible due to short notice
Procedure
The work situations in question are compared with already
known ones and their times are estimated with appropriate
adjustments

Comparing and estimating
Comparing
Juxtaposition of facts to determine differences or similarities
The time difference between the same or similar process
sections, is taken into account by increasing or reducing the
available values. These increases and reductions can be
determined with time studies, using target times or by
estimating.
Estimating
Approximate determination of quantitative data
The target time for the process sections is determined by
memory or experience: An expert estimates how much time is
needed for the execution of this work

Comparing and estimating
Before estimating comes comparing
Estimating without comparing corresponds to an estimate
without any benchmark, which does generally not result in
sufficiently accurate values
Even in supposedly completely new situations, there are
benchmarks, experiences, etc. as a guide when estimating

Comparing and estimating
Human perception of time
Estimating is always subjective, because it depends
on the person guessing and his or her experience and
knowledge.
REFA 2013

Comparing and estimating
Human perception of time
Man has no inherent “sense of time”
Sense of time depends on experience, that is affected by
the number and type of events that we experienced within
a certain time
We can estimate time periods only by comparison
Setup times are usually overestimated
Set-up provides a relatively high level of experience and
content variety and therefore appears often longer
Times for scheduled operations with a high proportion of
monitoring and workflow-related interruption times are
usually understated
Such processes have a low content of experience and offer
little variety

Comparing and estimating
Comparison of work pieces
In practice, work pieces, which are processed by the same or
similar work processes, are juxtaposed and compared.
By comparison of the shape, the dimensions and the material
of the to be produced work piece with already made similar
work objects, the same or different process sections can be
determined.

Methods of comparing and estimating
Summary comparing and estimating
Deals only with the entire process as a whole: As an overall
process, e.g. the production of a cabinet door is understood.
It takes 72 seconds to mount a
trolley with four wheels. How long
will it take to produce a trolley with
only three wheels?

Methods of comparing and estimating
Subdivided comparing and estimating
Combines the estimation with the analytical approach of the
work process breakdown into smaller process sections
Procedure
Divide the entire process into manageable sections
Estimate the times for each of these sections
Add the individual times to a total time
Advantages
More accurate results
In short process sections the influence factors are more
evident than in longer ones
For smaller process sections, comparative data for
verification can be more easily found
Estimation errors partly balance each other: The estimation
error decreases with the number of the estimated values

Methods of comparing and estimating
Interval estimate
Instead of point estimates (e.g. "It takes 12 minutes.") experts
can also carry out estimations in the form of interval estimates
(e.g. "It takes between 10 and 15 minutes.")
The average value of the time class which has been indicated
by the expert is used as an estimate
Interval time catalogues
Base of interval estimates
Consist of time classes whose margins increase by a certain
law. Each class has:
A time class lower limit
A time class upper limit
A time class mean

Differences must be
clarified, e.g.
dimensions or shape
