Patent number: 9971980Abstract: The purpose of the invention is to provide a standard work time updating method and system in which a work time is declared by a worker without requiring an observer or the like and the reliability of the updated data of standard work time can be prevented from being degraded due to a worker's false or erroneous declaration. To achieve this purpose, for example, the standard work time updating system is configured as follows. When a reliability determination unit (24) determines that a work time required for work and declared by a worker is not departed from a predetermined range in the work time data distribution of the work stored in a database, a standard work time for the work is updated to a standard work time calculated from the declared work time, and otherwise, the standard work time is not updated.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2011Date of Patent: May 15, 2018Assignee: MITSUBISHI HEAVY INDUSTRIES, LTD.Inventors: Yosuke Fujitomi, Ichiro Saito, Shigemi Yamane
