Abstract
The basic objective of this study was to compare the merits of All-day Time Study vs. Work Sampling as methods of measuring work for variable cycle operations and for indirect labor activity. Comparison was made on the basis of experience and training of analysts necessary for each type of study, the possible psychological effects on the worker caused by the presence of the observer, the preparation time necessary to organize each type of study, the time required to make the observations, and the accuracy of each method.
