SAM Calculator – Standard Allowed Minutes

Calculate Standard Allowed Minutes for garment operations. Used for line balancing and target setting.

Observed Time (min)

Performance Rating (%)

Allowance (%)

Basic Time0.000 min

SAM0.000 min

Pieces/Hour (theoretical)0

SAM Calculator Formula

Basic Time = Observed Time × Rating | SAM = Basic Time × (1 + Allowance%)

Observed: 0.6 min, Rating: 100%, Allowance: 15% → SAM = 0.69 min

Difference between SMV and SAM?

Calculate Standard Minute Value for garment operations. Essential for production planning and costing.

Calculate sewing line efficiency with all required IE fields: day production, SMV, manpower, working hours, and target/day.

Calculate individual operator production target per hour and per day.
