Claudine Soosay recorded the following times assemblinga watch. Determine (a) the average time, (b) the normaltime, a nd (c) the standard time taken by her, using a performancerating of95% and a personal allowance of 8%.
How many work cycles should be timed to estimate the average cycle time to within 2 percent ofthe sample mean with a confidence of 99 percent if a pilot study yielded these times (minutes):5.2, 5.5, 5.8, 5.3, 5.5, and 5.1? The standard deviation is .253 minutes per cycle.
The snapback timing method was used to obtain the average times and performance ratings for work elements in a manual repetitive task. (See table below). All elements are worker-controlled and were performance rated at 80%. Element e is an irregular element performed every five cycles. A 15% allowance for personal time, fatigue, and delays isapplied to the cycle. Determine (a) the normal time and (b) the standard time for this cycle. If the worker’s performance during actual production is 120% on all manual elements for 7 actual hours worked on an 8-hour shift, (c) how many units will be produced

- A Methods and Measurements Analyst needs to develop a time standard for a certain task. The task involves use of a ruler, square, and portable electric saw to mark and cut the "notch" in a rafter (a standard carpentry task of home construction). In a preliminary study, he observed one of his workers performing this task five times. The observations were made in an air-conditioned, well-lit training facility, at ground level, with all tools and equipment clean and readily available.

The worker's time-averaged 1.9 minutes per cycle, and the worker was given a rating of 120% (machine rating is 100%). Midway through the study, the worker took a 10-minute rest break. Assuming an allowance factor of 12% of work time, determine the standard time for this job. Hints: you should consider both machine time and machine time together. Also, Allowance only applies to the man, not a machine.arrow_forwardThe owner of Kat Motel wants to develop a time standard for the task of cleaning a cat cage.
