Working time standardization and analysis started at the beginning of 20th century and since then it has changed and evolved significantly. It is a very important part of work organization, because depending on how exactly the time standardization process is performed, it is possible to reduce production costs. Most Latvian textile and cloth production companies use only one standardization method – time study – and only in simplified variations. Although there is no institution in Latvia that would work out working time expenditure standards or methods of determination as it was in Latvia being a part of the USSR, nevertheless it could be possible to use those old standards and methods like the analytic calculation, micro/macro element and handling cost methods to do the necessary corrections. The article covers a comparative analysis of the mentioned working time standardization methods basing on one company’s assortment articles from the same type of material with the goal to determine which of mentioned working time expenditure determination methods are usable in nowadays production conditions and what corrections are necessary to take into consideration to cover all technology and other changes.
