Comment on the following: “At any given instant, the standard times for many jobs will not be strictly correct.” a. Why is this so? b. Does this mean that those standards are useless? Explain.

How would you classify the following job elements? Are they personal, fatigue, or delay?a) The operator stops to talk to you.b) The opera tor lights up a cigarette.c) The operator opens his lunch pail (i t is no t lunch time),removes a n a pple, and takes an occasional bite.

Based on a careful work study in the Hofstetter Corp., the results shown in the following table have been observed:                                                                                                                                    a) Compute the normal time for each work element.b) If the allowance for this type of work is 15%, what is the standard time?c) How many observations are needed for a 95% confidence level within ±5% accuracy?  (Hint: Calculate the sample size of each element.)

After​ training, Mary​ Fernandez, a computer​ technician, had an average observed time for​ memory-chip tests of 12 seconds.​ Mary's performance rating is 100​%. The firm has a personal fatigue and delay allowance of 18​%. Part 2 ​a) The normal time for this process​ = enter your response here   seconds ​(round your response to two decimal​ places). Part 3 ​b) The standard time for this process​ = enter your response here   seconds ​(round your response to two decimal​ places).

Nine observations from a work measurement study using continuous timing are shown below. Allowances are determined as: personal, five percent; fatigue, six percent; delay, six percent. Use the Work Measurement Excel template to determine the standard time for this operation.

HRM Incident 2: There’s No Future Here! “Could you come to my office for a minute, Bob?” asked Terry Geech, the plant manager.  “Sure, be right there,” said Bob Glemson. Bob was the plant's quality control director. He had been with the company for four years. After completing his degree in mechanical engineering, he worked as a production supervisor and then as a maintenance supervisor prior to moving to his present job. Bob thought he knew what the call was about. “Your letter of resignation catches me by surprise,” began Terry. “I know that Wilson Products will be getting a good person, but we sure need you here, too.”  “I thought about it a lot,” said Bob, “but there just doesn't seem to be a future for me here.”  “Why do you say that?” asked Terry. “Well,” replied Bob, “the next position above mine is yours.
