SMV means the time that it takes a worker to complete a specific operation or produce a specific garments.

It is a numerical value which is represented the standard time of a process or operation in a standard environment for standard worker.

A Standard Time

The work content of a job includes an allowance for adequate rest for that job.

‘Standard time’ is the average for one cycle of an operation that we would measure over a typical day if we had:

• A skilled operative
• Adequate incentives to call form the operatives’ best efforts.
• Plenty of work so that the operator is not necessary to wait for work.
• The workplace and the machinery for which the standard time was specified
• Output at the correct level of quality
• Time allowed for the operative’s personal needs and to overcome fatigue
• Expected delays, due to minor machine maintenance, thread changes etc:

When we measure this standard time in minutes, we call it as Standard Minute Value.

Basic Time = (Observed Time ×Observed rating) / Standard Rating

In the British standard the standard rating is 100%

Calculate the basic times

Answers: The basic time should be 0.20, 0.28, 0.10, and 0.23 Centiminutes.

Steps of calculate SMV:

                               Let, Basic time=A & Allowances=10%

                               SMV=A+10% of A

                                        =A (1+0.10)

                                        =A*1.10
