What is a Time Observation Sheet?
The Time Observation Sheet is the foundation of all standardized work. Before you can build a Process Capacity Sheet (Form 1), a Standardized Work Combination Table (Form 2), or a Standardized Work Chart (Form 3), you need accurate time data. This form is where you collect it — by observing the actual work and recording times for each element across 10 cycles.
Also called a "Time Study Sheet" or "Time Observation Form." It answers: "How long does each work element actually take?" Complete this form at the process before creating any of the three standardized work documents.
