Setting Time Standards at NISTARS (Naval Integrated Storage and Retrieval System).

Abstract

The Naval Integrated Storage and Retrieval System (NISTARS) is currently in the process of being installed at four Naval Supply Centers in the United States. These systems will automatically track, record, and direct movement of material from the receiving dock through storage to the final point of issue. Despite technological advances, accurate standards of anticipated materiel throughput for developing labor requirements have not yet been set of NISTARS. Therefore, this thesis investigates the applicability of setting time standards at NISTARS activities. Various methods of determining standard times are reviewed. Governmental sources of standard times information are examined. The steps for developing standard times are provided. An example standard time for the rackables manned storage and retrieval machine is presented. It is concluded that standard times can and should be implemented at NISTARS to facilitate more accurate labor scheduling and to increase warehousing productivity. (Author)
