Bedeaux Points Scheme

In this system, a point or, bedeaux abbreviated as “B” is defined as the work which a man should be able to perform in one minute. The standard work per minute is set after careful time and motion studies. A task or operation can be expressed in a number of “Bs” depending upon the nature of the job. The standard “B” makes allowance for the normal rest and fatigue also. Thus, the “B” which is to be done in one minute is normal task which can be performed by normal workers. The standard time of different jobs is calculated beforehand and is expressed in terms of “Bs”. Thus, if standard time for a job is 10 hours, under this plan it would be expressed as 600 “Bs”. The standard ‘Bs’ of various jobs done by a worker in a week are calculated and compared with the actual time. If the actual time exceeds the standard time, the worker gets wages for actual time worked. Thus, the system guarantees time wages to workers. If the standard “Bs” exceed the actual time, the difference is divided by 60 to get hours saved. The wages for such time saved are divided between worker and the foreman in the ratio of 3:1. This is done on the basis that good performance of the worker is also due partly on account of the co-operation given to him by the foreman. Now there is a tendency to give the entire bonus for the time saved to the worker, since the sharing by the foreman was very much resented by the workers.

The number of “Bs” or points earned by a worker are put on the notice board daily so that the worker can know the wages earned by him and can make efforts to earn more points to achieve the standard. This acts as an incentive for higher production in the factory.
