How many observations should a time study analyst plan for in an operation that has a standard deviation of .4 minutes per piece if the goal is to estimate the mean time per piece to within .1 minute with a confidence of 95.5 percent?
How many observations should a time study analyst plan for in an operation that has a standard deviation of 1.1 minutes per piece? The goal is to estimate the mean time per piece to within 0.4 minutes, with a confidence of 95.5 percent. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round up your final answer to the next whole number.).

- Develop an event process chain (EPC) diagram for the following staff-recruiting process at Yellow Brook Photography: • The current recruitment process for Yellow Brook Photography takes approximately 90 days. It begins when a manager completes a requisition and sends it to the Human Resources Department. The Human Resources Department reviews and assigns a number to the requisition and returns it to the manager for approval. He or she approves it, obtains the required approval signatures, and then returns it to Human Resources. • Next, Human Resources creates a job posting and announces the position internally through the company’s intranet, bulletin boards, or a binder of current job openings. Human Resources collects responses internally for eight days. After that, Human Resources solicits résumés from external sources by advertising in newspapers and online.
