Methodological procedure to calculate the work norms for the laminar flow hood operators in the mass propagation of in vitro plants
Journal Title: Biotecnología Vegetal - Year 2006, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
The achievement of productive goals in plant mass propagation with the efficiency and efficacy demanded from market competence of in vitro plants nowadays has an unstopped increase of workers productivity, mainly the laminar flow hood operators which are the fundamental force for the in vitro production and its fundamental indicators. The organization in the productive processes requires the use of work norms for each task establishing the workers performance during the working time. The calculation of these norms is supported, as common practice, in the implementation of methods and time analysis techniques. The current work is aimed to show the methodological procedures that have been designed to calculate the work norms in the manipulation of the plant material in the culture rooms in the Cuban biofactories, some examples of its application and general recommendations for its application in the current conditions of the in vitro culture commercial laboratories.
