Abstract
It is important to select the standard operators for the purpose of smooth working of a conveyor system which is designed by using the standard time. This paper presents an information theory procedure based on the Kullback-Leibler information for classifying operators in conveyor systems by work measurements. A method of deciding the sample size in work measurements with given risks is also suggested. The recommended procedure is practical and relatively effective.
