Stohastic Model to Determine the Elements of the Production Cycle Time: Case of Serbian Textile Industry

Abstract

The paper presents an original method of determining the elements of the production cycle time by using the modified work sampling method applied to a textile factory. It is shown that the movement of the elements of time can be viewed as a process and in the mathematical sense can establish control limits of error of +/- 3 SD. The mean time of the production cycle of the groups created by the number of pieces in the series t(pcu) moving the hyperbolic function, which has the asymptote c, a function of the form (t) over bar (pcu) = c + b/log n, where all groups of the production cycle in the mathematical sense do not act like strata but are function tpci, related to technology and deterministic factors of the production series.
