An operating time is the required time to make an elementary operation by a forklift truck driver or an operator. This operation can be physical (take a pallet on the ground, stacking operation) or administrative (Is manual seizing, barcodes seizing…)
These operating times will be used to size the logistic activity regarding equipments (forklift trucks, stackers...) and staff.
Instead of describing the standards and used units, the best is to these various times. Figures given here are, naturally, average and indicative. Every company, following its characteristics (quality of equipments, ages pyramid and staff’s training level), will have to adapt these figures by regular measures.
All these average times are going to allow, by combining them, to calculate logistics standard operations times (ex: truck discharging time)
It is advisable, after combining these times, to apply an 85 % efficiency factor corresponding to the time loss between practical and theory (the calculated time will be divided by 0.85). This one can vary according to the each company characteristics.
There are 3 types of operating times: 1. Movements’ times
