a)
To read: The two digit number for days in column 5.
Introduction: The amount of the dependency on human effort by an organization, in terms of achieving its goals is given by the work design. It is directly linked to the productivity of an organization, where a good work design helps in achieving high productivity.
b)
To determine: The hours from row 1, using its first digit.
Introduction: The amount of the dependency on human effort by an organization, in terms of achieving its goals is given by the work design. It is directly linked to the productivity of an organization, where a good work design helps in achieving high productivity.
c)
To determine: The minutes reading in the last two digits going down in column 6 and then repeating them, taking the first two digits and then making a chronological arrangement of days, hours and minutes.

- The Dubuque Cement Company packs 80-pound bagsof concrete mix. Time-study data for the filling activity are shown inthe following table. Because of the high physical demands of the job,the company's policy is a 23% allowance for workers.a) Compute the standard time for the bag-packing task.b) How many observations are necessary for 99% confidence,within ±5% accuracy?arrow_forward. Given the following information, determine the sample sizeneeded if the standard time estimate is to be within 5 percent ofthe true mean 97 percent of the time. Work Element Standard Deviation (minutes) Mean Observed Time (minutes)l 0.20 1.102 0.10 0.803 0.15 0.904 0.10 1.00arrow_forward5. The manager of Asombrado Bounty Office, Charles Badillo, estimates his employees are idle 25%of the time. With that problem, how many work samples are needed to consider within 3%accuracy and have 95.45% confidence level. 6. At ASP Micro Manufacturing, Inc. workers press semiconductor into predrilled slots on printed-circuit boards. Determine the normal time of the operation in seconds. The elemental motions for normal time used by the company are as follows:• Reach 6 inches for semiconductors 10.5 TMU• Grasp the semiconductors 8.0 TMU• Move semiconductor to printed-circuit board 9.5 TMU• Position semiconductor 20.1 TMU• Press semiconductor into slots 20.3 TMU• Move board aside 15.8 TMU 7. The semiconductor used in Costin Calculator has 5 components with the consistency of 90%, 95%,98%, 90%, and 99%, respectively. How reliable is one product of calculator?arrow_forward
- What are the trade-offs in the following?A. Choosing between time study and work sampling for work measurementarrow_forwardFor a time study of a health insurance claims-adjusting process, the analyst uses the continuous method of recording times. The job is divided into four work elements. Shown in Figure are the performance rating factors, RF, and the continuous method recorded times, r, for each work element.a. Calculate the normal time for this job. b. Calculate the standard time for this job, assuming that the allowance is 20 percent of the normal time. c. What is the appropriate sample size for estimating the time for element 2 within {10 percent of the true mean with 95 percent confidence?arrow_forwardHow 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.arrow_forward
- Ergonomics problem A work measurement analyst in the Electrical Company took 10 observations (for each element) of an operation job. The operation consists of four elements of work. Result of observation was shown in a Table attached. a. Determine the standard time and standard output if the total allowance time is 12% b. Check whether number of observation is sufficient or not for a 95 percent confidence level and 5 percent significant level.arrow_forwardA job in an insurance office involves telephone conversations with policyholders. The office manager estimates that about half of the employee's time is spent on the telephone. How many observations are needed in a work sampling study to estimate that time percentage to within 6% and have a confidence of 98%?arrow_forwardProvidence Assessment Center screens and trains employees for a computer assembly firm in Boston. The progress of all trainees is tracked, and those not showing the proper progress are moved to less demanding programs. By the tenth repetition, trainees must be able to complete the assembly task in 1 hour or less. Susan has just spent 5 hours on the fourth unit and 4.5 hours completing her eighth unit, while another trainee, Julie took 4 hours on the third and 2.8 hours on the sixth unit. Should you encourage either or both of the trainees to continue? Why? Present calculation steps. [Hint: For each trainee, 1) Determine the learning rate (%) – use doubling concept. 2) Calculate time for the 1st unit (T1) – use table, 3) Calculate time for the 10th Unit (T10) –use table] Susan Julie Learning rate (%) – doubling concept Time for the 1st unit Time for the 10th unitarrow_forward
