What is standard minute value in garments?
• SMV means Standard Minute Value. • It is a numerical value which is represented the standard time of a process or operation in a standard environment for standard worker. • It will be calculated by the following formula (Stop-watch system): Standard Time = Basic Time + Allowance% There are many techniques which have been developed to establish standard minute Values, one such technique is Called Pro-SMV , Professional standard minute value, this is a system based on MTM 2 developed by Methods Apparel consultancy India Pvt Limited.
Why are there sixty seconds in a minute?
Ancient Babylonians divided days sexagesimally meaning in fractions of 1/60. They measured days by 6 subdivisions (1/60 x 1/60 x 1/60 etc.) to measure units of time as small as 2 milliseconds. Hellenistic astronomers also divided days sexagesimally but also used a mean hour (1/24).Please see the related link for the answer. In brief, now we use multiples of 10. The Egyptians used a multiple of 60. This has been adopted since, as far as I believe.Because somebody decided to call one-sixtieth of a minute, one second. Earlier on, somebody decided to call one-sixtieth of an hour, one minute. Guess why there are exactly twenty-four hours in a day!It is thought that there are 60 seconds in a minute because we have inherited measures based on 60 (the sexagesimal system) from the Sumerians, who developed it around 2,000 B.C.The sexagesimal system is used in both astronomical measurements (degrees, minutes and seconds of angle) and time measurements because these are historically connected, from when time was measured by the motion of the sun and the stars.60 was probably originally used by the Sumerians because it is a number that can be divided many different ways, by 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, and also by 10, 12, 15, 20 and 30.

What did Sumer develop?
well, my class just finished studying Sumer and Sumerians. Sumerians developed alot of things. they developed cuneiform which was the world's first system of writing using pictographs and symbols. They also developed the wheel which they used for pottery (potters wheel) and they developed medicines and in math, they developed a system revolving around the number 60. For example, there are 60 seconds in a minute and 60 minutes in an hour and yeah. Oh and the plow, used for farming which increased farm and food production. Thats all i can remember, but in my opinion, the most impressive is the writing development.
