Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Work sampling method is least likely to be of use in setting a time standard for a machining operation because it involves observation of a machine or worker's activity at random intervals to determine the percentage of time spent on each activity, which may not provide accurate and detailed information on the machining process. Time-study method, Elemental standard data approach, and Predetermined data approach are more useful and reliable methods for setting time standards.
