Abstract

Measuring the time for human-driven agricultural work and establishing the standard time for the work are essential for estimating compensation or insurance cost when work-related damage and/or disaster are occurred. Our study aims to investigate the steps required for cultivating crops, and try to estimate the time and amount of job-loss due to the injuries occurring in the agricultural environment. From the analysis we found the work time recorded in the diary was greater than the time measured using GPS by 7% on average. Additionally, we develop the Excel-based macro application that can calculate the costs for the replacing labor forces based upon the data obtained from the time study.
