Answer is D. Since the rating is assessment work rate o f working relative to the observer.

Normal time = observed time x rating. So it is used to define Normal time.

Rating factor is used to determine the normal time. And after adding allowances on normal time we can calculate the standard time. So answer is D.

Rating factor is used for determining normal time, which can be further used to determine standard time, which then is used to fix up the incentives in accordance with the performance of person, so no single option can be chosen.

Rating factor is use to determine normal time only. It is applied for worker only not for machine.

Raviteja said:   1 decade ago
It depends on time and the worker.

Yes @Arjun is right.

Normal time = observed time * rating factor.

Ravi said:   1 decade ago
@Arjun is right rating factor used to determine the normal time. It is applicable only for human worker.

Arjun said:   1 decade ago
Rating factor is the process during which the time study analyst compares the performance (speed) of the operator observed with the observer's (analyst) own concept of normal performance.

This rating factor is then applied to the observed time to obtain the normal time for the job.

Answer is "D".
