Standard Minute Value Calculator

Standard Minute Value Calculator calculator can be used to determine the time required to perform a task based on its SMV value, helping in work measurement and productivity analysis.

Input Parameters

Calculation Results

Calculation Formula

Total Time (minutes) = SMV × Quantity

Where:
SMV (Standard Minute Value) - The time required to perform one unit of work
Quantity - The number of units to be produced

Standard Minute Value Calculator Calculator Usage Guide

Learn how to use the Standard Minute Value Calculator and understand its applications in industrial engineering.

What is Standard Minute Value (SMV)?

Standard Minute Value (SMV) is a fundamental concept in industrial engineering and work measurement. It represents the time required to perform a specific operation or task under standardized conditions. SMV helps in:

  • Work measurement and time study
  • Setting performance standards
  • Workplace layout and design optimization
  • Productivity analysis and improvement

How to Use This Calculator

  1. Enter the Standard Minute Value (SMV) - the time required to perform one unit of work (e.g., 0.25 minutes per piece)
  2. Enter the Quantity - the number of units you want to produce
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to determine the total time required
  4. The calculator will display the total time in minutes and the time per unit

Example Application

Suppose it takes 0.25 minutes (15 seconds) to assemble one unit of a product (SMV = 0.25). If you need to produce 100 units:

Total time required = 0.25 minutes/unit × 100 units = 25 minutes

This calculation helps in scheduling production, determining labor requirements, and setting realistic deadlines.

Important Considerations

For accurate results, ensure that:

  • SMV values are determined through proper time study methods
  • Work conditions are standardized when determining SMV
  • Environmental factors affecting work performance are considered
  • Operator skill levels are taken into account
