Abstract

The time and motion study was conducted at Conpac Agro Enterprises Incorporated commercial layer farm at Barangay Pansol, Pila, Laguna on June to July 2014. Farm organizational set-up, operations area daily farm activities and personnel socio/demographic-economic profile was identified through an interview. Two standard personnel were selected each from manual and semi-manual type layer house, aged 29 and 34 years old, respectively. Elements per daily farm activities were identified. Ten initial observations were gathered using a stopwatch. Outliers were eliminated and required number of samples per activity and mean of time observations were determined. Rating and allowances were given to each activity done by the two personnel to determine the normal and standard time per cycle. By trial and error, the man-layer ratio was established for each type of layer house. In an entire day shift, a personnel working in a manual type layer house can accommodate greater number of layers (10,792 layers) as compared to the actual layer capacity of the layer house (8040 layers). Semi-manual type layer house personnel should accommodate lesser number of layers to fit all the activities in the day shift, from 13,728 layers to 11,888 layers.
